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.
