A solo exhibition of new work by Chuck Sperry

Leningrad Café, Argini e Margini di Arno is pleased to present “Invisible Reasons” a solo exhibition by San Francisco-based screen print master Chuck Sperry. 

For his upcoming solo exhibition in Pisa, Chuck will be showing his recent rock posters and art prints – from the last two years. Chuck will also present his newest art book: “Chthoneon: The Art of Chuck Sperry”

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.”

“Motivation for my art can be psychological or philosophical – emerging from the realm of the psyche, from the realm of ideas, or from spiritual dimensions. Drawn together my work is the visible effect of these invisible realms making their mark in the physical world – in short it’s psychedelic.”
