“Chuck Sperry: Exposed!” Art Show in Torino Italy October 31

“Chuck Sperry: Exposed!”
Opens Friday, October 31, 2025 at Ridicola an urban art gallery located in the heart of Torino, Italy. Opening party featuring: DJ Giampo! Show on view through November 2025.

I’ll be releasing two brand new, large format art prints in limited edition — “Courage” & “Empathy” — printed in red-orange-yellow tones by Sericraft of Torino. These two prints will see their American release at Context, Miami Art Week during Art Basel Miami 2025 at Harman Projects’ booth.

Also: I’ve created a special edition “Ridicola” magazine of 60 pages, filled with two extensive photo stories by Shaun Roberts documenting the artist at work inside Hangar 18, my California studio. The cover parodies Italian news magazines of the 1960s.

Ridicola is located at the heart of Torino, a former newsstand transformed into a vibrant exhibition space: a new hub for meeting, sharing, and art exhibitions. The small kiosk, closed for years, is reborn in a new form: an urban art gallery accessible 24/7, with a never-closing window and a curated selection of independent magazines and fanzines.

“My new poster muse for Dave Matthews Band is named “Courage”. I want my work to provoke meditation and emotional responses to its bold 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

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. 

— Chuck Sperry
