“Pythia” will be available at New York Comic Con at Spoke Art booth 1572 starting Thursday when doors open.
Spoke Art will make a very limited online release on the following Thursday, October 14, 2021. 

I am pleased to announce that I will be releasing my newest art print, “Pythia”, at Spoke Art’s live appearance at New York Comic Con this coming weekend. 

The New York Comic Convention has been a great forum to release new muses. I released “Clio” (2019), “Truth” & “Beauty” (2018), “Demeter” (2017), “Dryad” (2016), and “Justice” (2014) at NYCC through all through Spoke Art – all signature, highly desirable prints. My wood panel art print of “Justice” was acquired by the Fort Wayne Museum of Art in 2017. My large-scale, hand-woven tapestry of “Demeter” was acquired by the Fort Wayne Museum of Art in 2018. I love this electrical arc between popular art and fine art institution.

“Empathy” Art Print Wins Award

My “Empathy” Art Print from 2020 has been voted Poster of the Week by Expressobeans members. Thanks to all my supporters, I super appreciate it! Many thanks to Expressobeans.com. 

“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 meditations 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 don’t want to fragment my work . . .  not just yet . . . or abstract or dissolve; 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.” – Juxtapoz Magazine, March 29, 2018

I am making a renewed release of all my books – which are on sale and available again through my site. (also available on Amazon / or by ordering through your local independent bookstore in the US and throughout the world) – Click the link below to purchase through my site:

l’Oeil Ouvert Gallery of Paris and Next Door Gallery of Geneva are pleased to present Chuck Sperry’s next world tour “Color x Color” — a traveling solo exhibition by San Francisco-based screen print master. 

For his upcoming solo exhibitions in Paris and Geneva, Chuck will be showing his latest editions on paper, latest editions on oak panel, and he will be presenting his new book “Color x Color: The Sperry Poster Archive 1980-2020”.

Also available: a limited release of archive oak panels, rare test prints and surprises.

American artist Chuck Sperry is known for his ethereal and psychedelically saturated screen prints that draw crowds of dedicated fans around the world. He draws inspiration from graffiti, pop art, Symbolism, Art Nouveau and ukiyo-e.

Moving past his early work devoted to subverting the memes of advertising, trash-culture, and comics — he currently imagines a verdant garden of new work tended by his signature shimmering muses, calling this work a “utopian provocation.”

Chuck Sperry remained committed to cultural activity during the global pandemic — prolifically making prints in quarantine in San Francisco, California and visiting France and Switzerland to support his international gallery partners in October 2020. Touring his art under strict curfews and with safe covid protocols, he made gallery shows in person despite the conditions while honoring various restrictions and quarantines. Sperry is returning this June 2021 as the pandemic restrictions lift — bringing his new work and an eye toward the future. 

“It’s my hope this spring of 2021 that civilization unfolds again like a flower from its winter slumber. Let’s shake off our isolation, find solace in nature and again in our friends, art and music. Let’s heal our broken spirits through carefully tending our future like a garden towards justice.” – Chuck Sperry

Pampinea, the queen of the quarantine from Boccaccio’s Decameron with her crown of laurel and halo of care, intelligence and reason, greets the spring.

It’s my hope this spring of 2021 that civilization unfolds again like a flower from its winter slumber. Let’s shake off our isolation, find solace in nature and again in our friends, art and music. Let’s heal our broken spirits through carefully tending our future like a garden towards justice.
