The San Francisco based print artist Chuck Sperry presents his new solo exhibition “Muses” in Spoke Art Gallery and Hashimoto Contemporary. Indeed, the show will be broken up into two parts, with a new body of work consisting of wood panels and paper editions at Spoke Art Gallery and an extensive retrospective on display just a few doors down at Hashimoto Contemporary.
After fifteen years of success, Sperry continues his on-going series of Muses, playing with the classical greco-roman idea of “muse”, and presenting works which seems to be from an Alphonse Mucha of the 21st century.
Chuck has propelled the American rock poster genre to a new level of fine art status with his print work. He utilizes up to 9 color layers in his complex designs, the result is dazzling display of female figures enveloped in expressive patterns.
For his solo show at Spoke Art, Sperry will be presenting some of his most iconic images from his most famous gig posters on new oak panels and one new paper edition print release. Just a few doors down at Hashimoto Contemporary, a display of Rock Poster history will be on view in the form of extremely rare gig posters from Chuck’s personal flat files, all custom-framed and fully archival.
