France’s Beaux Arts Magazine: Sperry “Top 5 Most Captivating Exhibitions in Paris”


Only Human
A solo exhibition by Chuck Sperry
Online Release

I would like to thank my friends and supporters who attended my Paris opening on June 1. What a memorable evening! The prestigious Beaux Arts magazine described the show as one of the “top five most captivating exhibitions in Paris.”

In celebration of my legendary expo in Paris, we are making a very special, limited online release of archive prints, rare test prints, canvases, and panels.

ONLINE RELEASE

 

5 most captivating exhibitions to see in the galleries in Paris in June
By Malika Bauwens

Summer has already started in our Parisian galleries with a great harvest of exhibitions. Since entry is free, why deprive yourself of it? We have selected some exhibitions for you to discover with eyes wide open this month of June.

Spotlight on the artistic and cultural events not to be missed in the galleries in Paris in June 2024. In this program that we have put together for you: classic painting but also installations, photography and sculpture, created by current art talents.

It is also an opportunity to make some discoveries such as admiring rare Italian masters or the works of an American star of screen printing… Some galleries will close their doors for the summer break in a few weeks: remember the dates carefully, so as not to miss these exhibitions!

4. Chuck Sperry, master of American screen printing at the L’Oeil Ouvert gallery:

In the United States, he is a king of screen printing. An iconic American artist, living between San Francisco and here in Grasse, Chuck Sperry (born in 1962) has  caught the eye of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) which houses in their collection his ultra-colorful and psychedelic art. A defining figure in the concert poster field (he’s made posters for The Who, The Black Keys, Nick Cave, Joan Jett, PJ Harvey, Bob Dylan…), the master fuses rock energy and traditional printing methods.

Presented for the first time in France by the L’Oeil Ouvert gallery, Sperry is indeed an eye-grabber!
