Art Génération of Paris and Lyon is pleased to present Chuck Sperry’s next tour — a traveling solo art exposition by San Francisco-based screen print master. 

For his upcoming solo expositions in Paris and Lyon, Chuck will be showing his latest editions on paper, and latest editions on oak panel. 
He will be presenting his new book “Color x Color: The Sperry Poster Archive 1980-2020” at the Lyon show.
Also available: a limited release of archive oak panels, rare test prints and surprises.

American artist Chuck Sperry is known for his ethereal and psychedelically saturated screen prints that draw crowds of dedicated fans around the world. He draws inspiration from graffiti, pop art, Symbolism, Art Nouveau and ukiyo-e. Moving past his early work devoted to subverting the memes of advertising, trash-culture, and comics — he currently imagines a verdant garden of new work tended by his signature shimmering muses, calling this work a “utopian provocation.”

“My current work has much more to do with symmetry and proportion, color and balance. It’s a utopian provocation; while the present era couldn’t be more off balance, more dystopian.  I want my work to provoke meditations and emotional responses to its clear colors, balance and symmetry – to give courage, light and beauty to all of us trapped in an ugly historical moment. I don’t want to fragment my work . . .  not just yet . . . or abstract or dissolve; I think of my work from the last few years as defiant in these dark times. I like to think I give people courage through it. It gives me courage to work on it.”

Syrinx was a devotee of Artemis. When Pan saw her he was smitten. At first sight Syrinx ran away from Pan, bounding toward the reedy shore of a river, where the river nymphs helped her, and as she jumped into the water, she was transformed into reeds. Pan gathered the reeds he thought to have been Syrinx, and from them made his signature pan pipes, thus Syrinx was turned into music.

I released the regular edition of my latest muse “Syrinx” at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art retrospective exhibition, “Color x Color”. 

I will be making a very limited online release of my “Syrinx” variant editions on Tuesday, May 3, 2022 at 9-10 am PST. (No regular editions will be offered online.)

Limited to one print (1) per household. This limit of one print (1) includes all variants offered. Subsequent orders will be cancelled.

I would like to welcome a lot of newcomers to my site! I’ll quickly explain how my releases on my website are conducted. My “Syrinx” variant editions will be available, right here, in this post on Tuesday, May 3, 2022 at 9-10 am PST. The variants will appear at the same time as the PayPal “Buy Now” buttons. All the variants and their PayPal “Buy Now” buttons will appear at 9-10 am PST, and I will announce the price of each variant at the same time. Good luck to everyone, and as always, I am very appreciative of your support!
