Sperry in Popland 2025 at KochxBos Gallery, Amsterdam

POPLAND 2025 • GRAND OPENING
Saturday, June 7, 2025 • 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
The Popland exhibition will remain on view until July 5, 2025.

KOCHXBOS GALLERY AMSTERDAM
1e Anjeliersdwarsstraat 36, 1015 NR Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Chuck Sperry will be appearing in Amsterdam on Saturday, June 7 for the opening of Popland 2025, a spectacular group show curated by Ciou at KochxBos Gallery. We hope to see you there! 

Popland is a remarkable group exhibition featuring new, emerging, and established talent from around the world, curated by artist Ciou. Says Ciou: “I am also one of the artists, and as a curator, I find it fascinating to see how the same influences manifest in different cultures. For example, we can observe that artists within Pop Surrealism are inspired by anime, pop culture, and folk art. It is interesting to see how artists from Asia interpret American influences, and how artists from Europe approach art from Japan. It is a continuous cycle of inspiration, a perfect circle.”

Available Now: Chuck Sperry’s Newest Protest Art Poster

“Our Future, Our Democracy” (No Autocracy!) 2025 • 18 x 24 • offset poster

Now available exclusively online at the Harman Projects online store.⁠

Harman Projects and Chuck Sperry are pleased to announce “Our Future, Our Democracy” (No Autocracy!) 2025.

This limited edition offset lithograph is a continuation of the artist’s deeply entrenched activism, a key element to his artistic and social practice.

Available online starting Friday, April 4th at 10am Pacific exclusively online at the Harman Projects online store.

I am encouraged by the coming nationwide, mass mobilization on April 5, 2025 — organized in part by political action group Indivisible. 

It’s important to exercise one’s first amendment right to free speech, and so inspired, I created a 2025 offset variant of my “Our Future, Our Democracy” poster. My refreshed design calls for “No Autocracy! No Oligarchy! No Dictatorship!” 

Join our day of national mobilization on April 5, and stay tuned for many American demonstrations to follow. 

The time to defend our democracy is now.

“Danaïde” wears early spring flowers and carries her terracotta amphora decorated with the winged horse Pegasus. As Pegasus stamps the earth, so bursts a spring; as Hippocrene flows on Mt Helicon, so flows inspiration from the source of the muses.

The myth of the 50 Danaïdes, condemned for all eternity to toil, to endlessly carry water to fill a leaking vessel. Sisyphus fated to bear his heavy stone uphill, only to lose his burden near the hilltop, and to begin again. 

This is our struggle for equal rights, for our democracy. To paraphrase Albert Camus: the struggle itself — to continually work to fill the leaking jar — is enough to fill her heart. One must imagine the Danaïdes happy.

Sperry Opens Show in Paris at L’Oeil Ouvert December 14

FUTURE IN THE BALANCE
The Art of Chuck Sperry

14 December 2024 to 31 January 2025
Opening: Saturday, December 14

L’Oeil Ouvert Gallery
1 rue Lucien Sampaix
75010 Paris (metro: République)

PARIS, FRANCE: My solo exhibition “Future In The Balance” opens Saturday, December 14 and will be on view through January 31, 2025 at L’Oeil Ouvert Gallery, Paris where I will be showing new works, archive rarities, test prints and wood panels. 

“The artworks featured in the “Future In The Balance” exhibition reach for a personal politics, a deeper connection to change and evolution, by connecting with the archetypes at the foundation of our humanist experiment in democracy. I have always maintained that beauty strengthens my message. 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 meditation 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 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.” – Chuck Sperry

Informed by art historical figures such as Gustave Moreau and William Morris, combined with poetry and Greek Mythology, Chuck Sperry has cultivated a distinct style brimming with exuberance and energy. Refining his vision through his masterful printing expertise, Sperry creates ethereal and psychedelically saturated screen prints that draw crowds of dedicated fans around the world.

Creating work for musicians such as Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan, Nick Cave, Patti Smith and The Black Keys in addition to his fine art screen prints on wood panel and paper, Chuck Sperry has also used his artwork for social activism and change. The artist describes his political participation – “Freedom of Speech is our most powerful weapon, and it’s a driving force in my art.”

Chuck Sperry splits his time between his home in Grasse, France and his home in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco where he is inspired by the natural settings and flower power of both.
