“Color x Color” Second Printing Due in September

I’m delighted to announce the second printing of my new book “Color x Color: The Sperry Poster Archive” is now underway. My dreams for the release of “Color x Color” were realized when the first printing sold out in one day paired with enthusiastic, positive response from critics in the press. I’m grateful to my friends and supporters who contributed to a most auspicious book release.

The second printing of the book is anticipated to arrive in September 2020. Stay tuned!

To celebrate, I will be offering a very limited release of my reserve of the first printing through www.chucksperry.net on Sunday, July 12, 2020.

Juxtapoz: “The Interweaving Worlds of Chuck Sperry” by Dasha Matsuura

Read Full Juxtapoz Interview here.

I am incredibly excited for my upcoming solo show “Heaven of Many a Tangled Hue” at Spoke Art opening Saturday April 7th at their San Francisco location! For my latest solo exhibition, I have created seven editions on oak panel, two of which will be brand new images (with accompanying editions on paper.) Additionally, I have carefully curated a selection of works on paper pulled directly from the my personal archives.

Sales will be on a first come, first served basis at the opening reception on Saturday, April 7th. Doors will open at 4pm and we hope to have all orders completed by 9pm. Please note, we are expecting a very long line for this show and encourage our collectors and fans to arrive early.

There will be a limit of one oak panel, two archive paper prints and two new paper editions per person. No pre-sales will be available, customers must be over the age of 18, and we are unable to provide shipping services for in-gallery purchases.

Check out our recent studio visit with Chuck here, and be sure to RSVP to the opening night party via our event page!

Spoke Art‘s latest show is titled SERIGRAPH, a dynamic group exhibition celebrating screenprinting and analog printmaking as both a medium and a process. This comprehensive survey includes artists from a wide variety of genres, backgrounds and styles.

Juxtapoz: Spoke Art's Latest Group Show Focuses on the Aesthetic and Medium of Print Making by Staff on November 20, 2017

Each artist brings their unique experience in screen printing from their broad ranging experience in the worlds of gig/rock posters, movie and film work, street art, fashion and beyond. Working with single and multicolor screen prints, each artist has created a new limited edition pushing and melding the boundary of the analog print process. Typically working with art directors and clients for commercial and licensed projects, SERIGRAPH allows this curated artist list a creative freedom not commonly found in their day to day work. This allows for an exploration of artistic practice in a completely restriction-free space has resulted in stunning array of works within the medium.
