Chuck Sperry x Spoke Art at NYCC • “Pythia” Art Print Release

Pythia, 2021
30 x 22.5
Edition of 250
7 colors on cream paper
Signed and Numbered

Variants: Sparkle Foil, Lava Foil, Satin Black, Gold and Silver

“Pythia” will be available at New York Comic Con at Spoke Art booth 1572 starting Thursday when doors open.
Spoke Art will make a very limited online release on the following Thursday, October 14, 2021. 

I am pleased to announce that I will be releasing my newest art print, “Pythia”, at Spoke Art’s live appearance at New York Comic Con this coming weekend. 

The New York Comic Convention has been a great forum to release new muses. I released “Clio” (2019), “Truth” & “Beauty” (2018), “Demeter” (2017), “Dryad” (2016), and “Justice” (2014) at NYCC through all through Spoke Art – all signature, highly desirable prints. My wood panel art print of “Justice” was acquired by the Fort Wayne Museum of Art in 2017. My large-scale, hand-woven tapestry of “Demeter” was acquired by the Fort Wayne Museum of Art in 2018. I love this electrical arc between popular art and fine art institution.

“Serigraph” Group Show in SF at Spoke Art July 13 to 31

Earlier this summer, from July 13 to July 31, 2021, SPOKE ART was proud to present SERIGRAPH, a dynamic group exhibition celebrating screen printing and analog print making as both a medium and a process. This comprehensive survey included artists from a variety of genres, backgrounds and styles.

“Each artist brings their unique experience in screen printing from their broad ranging experience in the world of concert posters, movie and film work, street art, fashion and beyond. Working with single or multicolor screen prints, each artist has created a new limited edition, melting the boundary between traditional art mediums and the analog printing process.”

Chuck Sperry • Erica Williams • Murugiah • Nikita Kaun • Eelus • David Moscati • Arna Miller • Tom Whalen • Jeremy Fish • Ian Glaubinger • Marc Spusta • GATS • Petite Luxures • Justin Santora • Luke Martin 

I was away in France when this show opened in San Francisco and I would like to document it here on chucksperry.net to mark the auspicious occasion. My participation was discrete, as we feared a large crowd might gather during the pandemic, and my art piece “Primavera, Pampinea” was offered at the opening as a surprise, and the edition sold out swiftly.

“Empathy” Art Print Wins Award

My “Empathy” Art Print from 2020 has been voted Poster of the Week by Expressobeans members. Thanks to all my supporters, I super appreciate it! Many thanks to Expressobeans.com. 

“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.” – Juxtapoz Magazine, March 29, 2018

I am making a renewed release of all my books – which are on sale and available again through my site. (also available on Amazon / or by ordering through your local independent bookstore in the US and throughout the world) – Click the link below to purchase through my site:
