Handwoven wool tapestry 

Begun one year ago in February 2020, my newest hand-woven, large-format wool tapestry Terpsichore has been completed at Taller Mexicano de Gobelinos in Guadalajara. Terpsichore joins her sisters Thalia and Semele in my triptych Graces. 

I am grateful to the master dyers, weavers, and stitchers of the Taller directed by Jaime Ashida. The work was slower this time due to the pandemic but no less fine. Jaime and I remain committed to our alliance of care and support. As a result, these excellent tapestry artists have spun their delicate magic again, and with expert care, have woven the stuff of dreams.

Terpsichore, Thalia and Semele will be on view in April 2022 at my retrospective at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art.

Demeter was acquired by the Fort Wayne Museum of Art in 2019.

Support Leoncavallo by passing by the serigraphy lab’s table.

“In March of the 2006 Chuck Sperry came to Milan in order to establish, during the period spring-summer, his project called the FIREHOUSE EUROPE. With Marcelo de la Hoz, and “sponsorship” from Vandalo, they renovated an area and created the equipment for screenprinting in a space of Centro Sociale Leoncavallo that was in disuse. It can be said that it was begun thus; the new silkscreen movement at Leoncavallo. Chuck, with your short passage in our home, you leave, but not only have you left sources of inspiration for us, and the spirit of silkscreens art: you have left also an artistic treasure, for all of us, of an immense value!” – Laboratorio Serigraphico del Leoncavallo
