“Chuck Sperry: Exposed!” Art Show in Torino Italy October 31

“Chuck Sperry: Exposed!”
Opens Friday, October 31, 2025 at Ridicola an urban art gallery located in the heart of Torino, Italy. Opening party featuring: DJ Giampo! Show on view through November 2025.

I’ll be releasing two brand new, large format art prints in limited edition — “Courage” & “Empathy” — printed in red-orange-yellow tones by Sericraft of Torino. These two prints will see their American release at Context, Miami Art Week during Art Basel Miami 2025 at Harman Projects’ booth.

Also: I’ve created a special edition “Ridicola” magazine of 60 pages, filled with two extensive photo stories by Shaun Roberts documenting the artist at work inside Hangar 18, my California studio. The cover parodies Italian news magazines of the 1960s.

Ridicola is located at the heart of Torino, a former newsstand transformed into a vibrant exhibition space: a new hub for meeting, sharing, and art exhibitions. The small kiosk, closed for years, is reborn in a new form: an urban art gallery accessible 24/7, with a never-closing window and a curated selection of independent magazines and fanzines.

Widespread Panic Richmond “Juno” Poster Wins Award

My Widespread Panic “Juno” Poster has been voted Poster of the Week by Expressobeans members. Thanks to all my supporters, I super appreciate it! Many thanks to Expressobeans.com.

Commissioned by Widespread Panic for two legendary nights at the Allianz Amphitheater at Riverfront, Richmond, Virginia, my poster was revealed on the first night as a secret surprise, and sold out by the time the shows ended.

“Juno, Queen of the Gods, graces my Widespread Panic poster for Richmond, Virginia. Mother Goddess, central to the earliest rites that dressed our beliefs in human form. Dancing and losing oneself in music connects us to one of the earliest forms of ritual practice.” — Chuck Sperry

We are the good people
The ones they told you about
One kiss of mother nature
Her spirit waits in light

“My new poster muse for Dave Matthews Band is named “Courage”. I want my work to provoke meditation and emotional responses to its bold 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

Ms. Gayet is also known for being the wife of former President of France, François Hollande.
