The Rock Poster Society • Festival of Posters 2019

Festival of Rock Posters TRPS with Chuck Sperry

Join us October 19, 2019 for The Rock Poster Society, Festival of Posters in San Francisco’s beautiful Golden Gate Park.

It’s been a Great Year for my art and my printing company Hangar 18! Maybe you can pick up some of those prints you missed at TRPS.

I will have many surprises, rarities, variants, unreleased variants, one-of-a-kind test prints, and black & white tests to offer exclusively at TRPS on Saturday, October 19, 2019!

San Francisco’s annual Fall Clas­sic, the The Rock Poster Society’s Fes­ti­val of Rock Posters is set to go for Sat­ur­day, Octo­ber 19th, 2019 at the San Fran­cisco County Fair Build­ing (aka Hall of Flow­ers) in beau­ti­ful Golden Gate Park.

Fea­tur­ing rock poster artists and deal­ers from around the coun­try, this is the biggest rock poster event of its kind any­where. Those of you who have attended this show in the past know that this is the one not to miss. We bring in the best of the best, and you’ll find every­thing from vin­tage psy­che­delic trea­sures to the best of the mod­ern silkscreen move­ment. This year’s ver­sion promises to offer another stel­lar lineup.

The loca­tion is at the cor­ner of Ninth and Lin­coln on the South edge of the Park, not far from the Haight, the DeY­oung Museum, and the Acad­emy of Sci­ences. There are plenty of great restau­rants close by, too. Make it a week­end and bring the fam­ily to enjoy the great weather, an awe­some poster event, and every­thing else San Fran­cisco has to offer.

Festival of Rock Posters: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19 at the Hall of Flowers, Ninth Avenue and Lincoln Way, Golden Gate Park.

Here’s a look back at Sperry’s posters since last October…

Chuck Sperry’s “Invisible Reasons” Art Tour Coming to Geneva in June 2019

Invisible Reasons
A solo exhibition of new work by Chuck Sperry

Next Door Gallery
16 rue de l’Arquebuse
Geneva Switzerland

Opening Night Reception: June 13, 2019, 6pm
Exposition from June 13 to June 29, 2019

Next Door Gallery in Geneva, Switzerland is pleased to present “Invisible Reasons” a solo exhibition by San Francisco-based screen print master Chuck Sperry. 

For his upcoming solo exhibition in Geneva, Chuck will be showing his recent rock posters and art prints – from the last two years – and his newest editions on oak panel. Chuck will also present his newest art book: “Chthoneon: The Art of Chuck Sperry”

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.”

“Motivation for my art can be psychological or philosophical – emerging from the realm of the psyche, from the realm of ideas, or from spiritual dimensions. Drawn together my work is the visible effect of these invisible realms making their mark in the physical world – in short it’s psychedelic.”
