The Art of the T-Shirt! New Works by Gary Hirsch

Go back to basics with over 200 one-of-a-kind, hand-painted T-shirts created by international street artist and Botjoy creator Gary Hirsch.
About this Event

In 1983, I discovered the airbrush in a printmaking class. It became my medium of choice for over 15 years. This giant doodling device let me take my art to the streets, bypassing galleries and museums and making it accessible to all.

I helped raise two wonderful children by hand-painting T-shirts and selling them on the streets of the Pacific Northwest. By 1998, I was burned out and starting a new creative career.

The power of a good shirt as a canvas never left me, and after discovering my vintage shirts in resale shops from Tokyo to NYC, I decided to bring them back for a limited time.

This show is taking place in the Sellwood neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, on (of all things) the pickleball courts of a church in the reception area.

The exhibition isn't affiliated with the church, but they graciously let me exhibit because I play pickleball there almost daily (you can actually play during the show). It’s a cool space, two blocks from my house, and it has room for me to display a lot of work!

This is a live show. After the exhibition, remaining artworks will be offered in an online sale. To join the sale, please sign up below.
