Sperry Featured Artist at Surf Music Fest in Italy

I’m happy to announce that I’ll be the featured artist at the Surfer Joe Summer Festival 2023 for the 15th Edition of the largest gathering of surf music fans in the world. Surfer Joe is a 4-day immersion into the world of instrumental surf music with an intense program of concerts, seminars and various attractions, all happening mere steps away from the Mediterranean Sea along the beautiful coast of Tuscany.

For his upcoming feature at the Surfer Joe Festival, Chuck will be showing affordable and accessible Old School posters, and surprises. You will find posters popular with rockers: Joe Strummer, The Who, Jello Biafra, Mudhoney, Queens of the Stone Age, Melvins, Rancid, Anthrax, Danzig, Devo, Black Sabbath, Tease-o-rama, Tiki Art, and other classics from Sperry’s archive. 

In addition, Chuck will be presenting his 750 page, career spanning book, “Color x Color, The Sperry Poster Archive 1980-2020” an extensive collection of his world-famous rock posters.

Schedule and Information at Surfer Joe Summer Music Festival

American artist Chuck Sperry is famous for his ethereal and psychedelically saturated screen prints that draw crowds of dedicated fans around the world.

“Chuck has propelled the American rock poster genre to a new level of fine art status with his print work.” – Juxtapoz

One can find his art featured in many books, most notably Color x Color: The Sperry Archive 1980-2020; High Volume: The Art of Chuck Sperry; Helikon: The Muses of Chuck Sperry; Chthoneon: The Art of Chuck Sperry; Idyllion: The Art of Chuck Sperry; The Art of Modern Rock; Peace Signs: The Anti-War Movement Illustrated; and Street Art San Francisco: Mission Muralismo.

Chuck Sperry has honed the craft of designing and hand screen printing for over 20 years to become recognized throughout the world as one of the foremost rock poster artists and printmakers. Elevating the craft to fine art, Sperry creates socio-political artwork beyond rock. He adheres to the ideal that beauty strengthens his message.

“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:
