Chuck Sperry at Spoke Art Gallery’s “In Dreams: an art show tribute to the films of David Lynch”

Lynch_flyer-Sperry

I am very proud to announce I will be taking part in Spoke Art Gallery’s March exhibition, “In Dreams: an art show tribute to the films of David Lynch” – opening Saturday March 8th 2014.

Featuring over 50 painters, print makers and illustrators from around the world, all paying homage to one of the greatest living film directors.

Opening night reception: Saturday, March 8th 2014.

Here’s a preview of my print for the exhibition which will be available exclusively through Spoke Art Gallery on March 8, 2014 (online soon after!):

DAVID LYNCH WEB

“In Dreams, David Lynch”
18 x 35
Edition of 80
Heavy metallic silver and three tints on metallic anthracite paper
Signed and numbered
_______________
In my print “In Dreams, David Lynch” I made subtle reference to Milton Glaser’s portrait of Bob Dylan with my treatment of Mr. Lynch’s hair.  I slanted the tonality of this portrait toward monochrome to reflect David Lynch’s groundbreaking early black and white films Eraserhead and The Elephant Man. I made this choice to refer, not only to David Lynch’s legendary and iconographic status as a cultural oracle, but also as homage to Mr. Glaser and to my artistic roots in rock’n’roll printmaking.
