Sperry’s Grateful Dead “Bertha” Poster Wins Award

My Grateful Dead “Bertha” Poster has been voted Poster of the Week by Expressobeans members. Thanks to all my supporters, I super appreciate it! Many thanks to Expressobeans.com.

Commissioned with blessings from the Grateful Dead for The Capitol Theatre and Relix Marketplace, my Grateful Dead poster is a celebration of the Capitol Theatre’s early 1970s resurgence as a major psychedelic performance space. Sperry’s poster commemorates the first night of the Dead’s legendary residency at the Capitol Theatre on March 20, 1970.

“Bertha, I think, is probably some vaguer connotation of birth, death, and reincarnation. Cycle of existences, some kind of nonsense like that. I wouldn’t be surprised, but then again, it might not be. I don’t remember.” 

— Robert Hunter

Sperry Solo Show in Paris with l’Oeil Ouvert Gallery

L’Oeil Ouvert Gallery of Paris is pleased to present Chuck Sperry in “My Mind’s Eye” — a solo art exposition by the world famous printmaking master. For his upcoming solo in Paris, Chuck will be showing his newest editions on oak panel, archive panels, his latest editions on paper, rare test prints and surprises.

American artist Chuck Sperry is renown for his ethereal, psychedelically saturated screen prints that draw crowds of dedicated fans around the world. Iconic in both the concert music and art worlds — Sperry draws inspiration from the raw energy of live performances his art enhances — and stylistically from graffiti, pop art, and Art Nouveau. He currently imagines a verdant garden of new work tended by his signature shimmering muses, calling this work a “utopian provocation.”

On view: December 6, 2023 – January 2024.

Vernissage: Wednesday, December 6, 18h – 22h

l’Oeil Ouvert Gallery Presents:
“My Mind’s Eye” a Chuck Sperry solo exhibition
1 rue Lucien Sampaix, 75010 Paris

In my minds eye
Things are clearer than before
Showing me the way
Asking me to stay
I’ll never close the door
To all these things and more

— Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane (Small Faces)

Sperry’s Dave Matthews Band “The Bacchante” Poster Wins Award

My Dave Matthews Band “The Bacchante” Gorge Poster has been voted Poster of the Week by Expressobeans members. Thanks to all my supporters, I super appreciate it! Many thanks to Expressobeans.com.

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
