This September 14th, Chuck Sperry will be opening a special solo museum exhibition “All Access: Exploring Humanism in the Art of Chuck Sperry”. This exhibition will be hosted at The Fort Wayne Museum of Art from September thru December 9th.

Opening Party: September 14, 6-9pm

More info on the event and information on purchasing tickets can be found here.

Sperry has been preeminent in the rock poster genre since the late 1990s and has largely defined the genre in each decade since with his distinctive style and masterful printing technique.

Symbolism, Secession, ukiyo-e, and psychedelia blend in Sperry’s flattened, post-modern figurative art: all potent ingredients Sperry strives self-consciously to re-evaluate for the 21st Century.

Several new wood panels will be available at this event as well as new paper editions including variants.

The exhibit will also feature two large scale tapestries, original ink drawings, and ephemeral color progressives which illuminate Sperry’s unique printing process.

Sperry’s newest art book will be released “Chthoneon, The Art of Chuck Sperry” the 136 page follow up of his art book “Helikon, The Muses of Chuck Sperry”.

Sperry has drawn inspiration for this work from the classical Greco-Roman idea of the muses, and their metaphorical home on Mount Helikon — the source of inspiration for all things art and music. Naiads, nymphs and muses in their richly patterned floral settings make their way into Sperry’s work. Dripping with brightly colored flowers, decked in gold and silver textures, Sperry’s blue-silver muses sing a paean to the long tradition of humanism reactivated in the struggle for social progress, universal human rights, a more perfect democracy and the utopian ideals of the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco where Sperry has made his home since 1989.

Symbolism, Secession, ukiyo-e, and psychedelia blend in Sperry’s flattened, post-modern figurative art: all potent ingredients Sperry strives self-consciously to re-evaluate for the 21st Century.

The exhibit will feature 2 large scale tapestries designed by Sperry, 25 screen prints on oak panel, original ink drawings, and ephemeral color progressives which illuminate Sperry’s unique printing process.

This exhibition is organized by the Fort Wayne Museum of Art and its Curator of Contemporary Art Josef Zimmerman.
