Power to the Peaceful – Saturday, September 11, 2010
Here’s a preview of my Power to the Peaceful 2010 poster. I printed these yesterday so they are ready to go when I return from my New York City show at Faya Gallery. It’s been a very busy going from my successful releases of Crowded House and Bob Dylan while getting ready to fly out for my opening in the Big Apple. I lived on the Lower East Side when I was just starting out, working on World War 3 Illustrated magazine, so it’s going to be great to see old friends again!
I fly back to San Francisco on Friday just in time to rest up a little, and stroll over to Speedway Meadow Golden Gate Park for Michael Franti and Spearhead’s Power to the Peaceful concert on Saturday, September 11, 2010 at 10 am to 5 pm.
I’ll be releasing my poster live at the show on Saturday the 11th (from 10 am to 5pm) at the festival merchandise tent which is in the mid-point of Speedway Meadow on the left (as you are facing the stage). Come early these sell out quickly every year.
Then the next day, I’ll be making a very limited online release of this poster on Sunday, September 12, 2010 at 12 noon PST.

Faya Gallery – New York City – Wednesday, September 8, 2010
Faya Gallery, 211 Elizabeth Street, New York City, has invited Chris Shaw, Chuck Sperry and Peter LeCompte to exhibit their newest work through the month of September. The opening is on Wednesday, September 8, 2010 at 6pm to 9pm. Sperry will be showing his newest poster work, Chris Shaw will be showing his newest paintings, and Peter LeCompte will show his newest hand-painted silkscreen pieces.
This exhibition is a fusion of the rock poster aesthetic and fine art.
In Chris Shaw’s work the rock poster aesthetic informs the painting medium; there is a mash-up of bold psychedelic poster stylings with very painterly techniques informed by Renaissance styles of picture-making and subject matter.
Peter LeCompte is like a DJ who orchestrates pre-arranged musical samples into a continuous mix while also highlighting their obscure connotations. Le Compte juggles memory and color into what appear to be the solidified icons of a recovered happiness – they hark back to the more anxiety-free days of our collective pre-Vietnam war childhood.
Chuck Sperry brings his masterfully created silkscreened rock posters, resonating with the styles drawn from the poster art form’s long tradition – ranging from the roots of the poster tradition in Art Nouveau and Vienna Secession style to Psychedelic, Rock, Punk, Post-Punk, Grunge, Stoner and Pop. In Sperry’s work you can trace the history of the poster medium from the end of the 19th Century to the beginning of the 21st.
