Jirard Bond
Jirard is an artist who works at the PASC Southgate Studio. Jirard makes mixed media artworks that are based on one of two subjects, Hulk Hogan or Elmo. These characters represent the hero (Hogan) and friend (Elmo). Jirard thinks of each artwork as a poster for one or the other of his subjects, with their names written several times in Jirard’s secret iconographic language, celebrating them.
Jirard has exhibited at the Detroit Artist Market, Detroit, MI (2025); PASC Detroit Gallery, Detroit, MI (2025); PASC Southgate Gallery, Southgate, MI (2025/2024/2022/2021); Art Gallery at Westland City Hall, Westland, MI (2024); Ford Art Gallery Wayne County Community College, Belleville, MI (2024); Detroit Repertory theatre, Detroit, MI Detroit, MI (2022); PASC Detroit Pop Up Gallery, At The Vella Group, Detroit, MI (2022); and the Swords Into Plowshares Peace Center and Gallery, Detroit, MI (2022).
