at Hangar 18 Studio Gallery

1428 34th Street, Oakland, CA

Friday, August 9, 2013

6 pm to 11 pm

Join us for an evening reception and sale of art prints by Argentine artist Alan Berry Rhys, including his latest, “Kraken Embotellado” at the H18 (Hangar 18) Studio Gallery. He will be exhibiting scores of cool art prints direct from the heart of the vibrant Buenos Aires Art Scene.

Alan Berry Rhys teaches Art at FADU, The Free University of Buenos Aires, publishes the Argentine art magazine Porco, and prolifically creates street art and screen printed art, sometimes mixing the two to create combines and assemblages. His art is informed by the urban environment, folk signage, and a penchant for folk legend and tall tales.

Alan Berry Rhys published Chuck Sperry’s recent art book, “High Volume,” which was an imprint of Porco art magazine, and distributed by Last Gasp of San Francisco.

Hangar 18 is a showcase for artwork in the unique setting of Chuck Sperry’s screen printing studio in Oakland. The H18 Project is an ongoing pop up gallery where we present collectors with a unique studio experience, visiting the iconic Bay Area artist Chuck Sperry and artists who have collaborated with or influenced him.

As a bonus: Chuck Sperry will also be releasing a special, surprise print at the event – to be released LIVE at this H18 event on Friday, August 9th, followed by release online at a random time on Saturday August 10th.

I returned from Italy in early July, and have been busy preparing for the next round of events planned for the end of the summer and fall. So there has been a lot going on, but most of it behind the scenes this July. Excuse my silence, but you’ll be getting all the news this week! I’ll be making a lot of posts this week to catch everyone up with the fantastic success of the Italian tour, my solo show at Mondo Bizzarro in Rome, and my site-specific installation in the Oratorio di Santa Maria in Selaa in Tellaro, Liguria. I can’t wait to show you film and photos of this fantastic tour!

Also, I built an enormous new custom designed exposure unit specifically to create the large-scale art pieces which I showed in Europe, and I want to tell you about that. So expect a post about this incredible new addition to my studio this week too.

Also, I’m really excited to tell you in a post later this week, that the 10 large-scale wood panel pieces I showed in the church in Tellaro, are being permanently installed in an excellent restaurant in Paris which will be themed around my art, and planned to open in September.

So stay tuned! More posters will be coming your way in the next weeks! And lots of exciting news! And I have a lot of new exhibitions to announce — at my own Hangar 18 Studio Gallery on August 9, in Portland at The Peoples Art on August 17, and in Argentina at the Art Fair of Buenos Aires in September!
