Grinderman Shirt and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Poster Offering

Nick Cave wrote me an email last summer, starting a discussion about making art for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds upcoming tour in 2014. I’ll be creating a really special poster offering throughout the beginning of 2014 for Nick Cave and the Bad Seed’s 2014 North American Tour; it is available with a VIP ticket purchase in all major North American cities he will visit. I am linking the Warfield in San Francisco, HERE. However, this offer is available throughout the tour. Read more about the tour from Nick Cave’s press conference recently HERE.

Last June, Nick mentioned that he has always loved my design for his Grinderman concert at the Warfield from 2010, and here we are offering my design as a t-shirt, on Nick Cave’s official website.

Extended Engagement: Chuck Sperry at l’Oeil Ouvert, Paris

loeil-ouvert-extended

Due to the overwhelming positive response from art lovers and the French press, we’ve extended my successful Paris exposition to January 1, 2014. We had meant this show to be a humble introduction of my prints to the Paris public, with a larger show to follow at l’Oeil Ouvert scheduled for June. Well, what a great introduction! I’m grateful to the wonderful people at my Paris gallery, l’Oeil Ouvert. We garnered much press attention from le Parisien, Que Faire a Paris, France Culture, Paris la Nuit, Paris Tonkar, Wonder Brunette, Ooze and many others. I am humbled and grateful!

The few prints left after a quick and surprising run for this exposition, have been replenished, and many, many more of my prints have been brought to Paris to be viewed and acquired.

I will be reserving some of my newest titles and rarities to be shown in Paris at l’Oeil Ouvert for our big show coming in June 2014.

Paris Exposition October 15 to January 1, 2014 http://en.loeilouvert.com/

This poster is inspired by my stay in Milan, Italy a few years ago. In Milan I lived and worked in Centro Sociale Leoncavallo. The core group that held the occupied squat together (where I had my print studio) was the Mamme Antifasciste. The “Antifascist Mammas” are a strong, fine group of women who wove the fabric of society within the social center. They cooked food for everyone every night, taught Italian, organized meetings, gathered demonstrations, and projected plans for the squat and it’s guests. The “Mammas” have reached out to women and mothers throughout the world to participate in struggles in Chiapas, in Argentina, in Palestine, and locally in Italy. The figure in my poster draws from inspirational fighters of the partisan movements of WWII and the spirit of these movements right up to the present day. I painted The Mamme Antifasciste a new banner you can see at the bottom of the article linked HERE. And their old banner was retired to my studio, see below:
