“The Mystic” wears late summer flowers and early autumn leaves. She carries a pitcher of wine in celebration of the grape harvest with September upon us. Perhaps the mystic’s pitcher is full of kykeon, a special drink shared by initiates of the Eleusinian Mystery. The Mystery was an ancient rite which dramatized the cycle of life, death and rebirth — the natural procession of the seasons. Thought to have been a brew with psychotropic effects, kykeon brought visions to initiates revealing the majesty of nature’s spirit and the mystery of its processes.

Companion to my “Harmonia” Gorge 2019 poster — “The Bacchante” is a reference to the devotees of Bacchus, the god of wine and rock and roll. When I think of the Gorge, thoughts turn to the awe-inspiring natural setting, the spectacular amphitheatre, beautiful people, and cheering crowds. “Prepare yourselves for the roaring voice of the God of Joy!” ― Euripides, The Bacchae

Seattle Art Fair: “Crowd-control measures in place at Harman Projects, where Chuck Sperry was releasing print editions.” – artnet news

I jumped so quickly from Seattle to my first successful online launch with EQL, I didn’t get a chance to sum up my show with Harman Projects at Seattle Art Fair. 

Ken Harman said it best, so I’ll lean on his words: “Huge congratulations to Chuck Sperry for his stunning solo presentation with Harman Projects at the Seattle Art Fair this past weekend. 

Seeing our booth featured both in print via [the front page of] The Seattle Times and online via artnet was especially nice!

Huge thank you to Raul and John for all their hard work at the event and to Hector and Paul for the logistical support.

An especially heartfelt thank you to the many fans and collectors who flew in and camped out overnight to attend, your support means everything, thank you.

Looking forward to our next solo presentation with Chuck debuting at Harman Projects in NYC early next year, stay tuned!”

The Seattle Times • July 29, 2023 • by Margo Vansynghel

“The booth of New York’s Harman Projects was especially popular, drawing a crowd that spilled out into the aisles waiting patiently for their turn to see the art. Some had traveled from as far as Florida to purchase artwork by Chuck Sperry, famed for his art nouveau-stvle concert posters for bands like Pearl Jam and The Who.”
