Artist Reception: January 14, 2012, 4pm to 7pm

JANUARY 14 – FEBRUARY 18, 2012

In Mind Spring, Sperry creates an icon of the Worldwide Occupy Movement and it’s antecedent in the Arab Spring. The figure wreathed in blooming spring flowers is a representation of the surprising enlightened humanism, the opening mind, the broadened socio-political possibilities which has swept the world in 2011.

We will be making a very limited online release of these editions and their variants on Sunday, January 15, 2012 at a random time – right here in this post – on my site.

Mind Spring at Varnish – Second Art Print Reveal – Large Format “Chaos” and “Cosmos” on Wood Panel

Back in 2007, when I invited the British Rock Artists Group from the UK to join me for a workshop on silkscreen printing in San Francisco (see link about BRAG), I made a show for them at Aspect Gallery in San Francisco. Owner of Aspect, Lon Richter, showed me his oversized silkscreen, one-arm, hand-press, saying he might sell it to me, if I was interested. What a beauty! It had over six feet by four feet of printing bed. It was hardly used, but this sturdy piece of heavy equipment was in his basement. The idea of moving it – let alone paying for it – put this in the “later” department in my brain. I was asking myself, why would anyone move a piece of heavy printing equipment into a basement? When I asked Lon how it got there, he said, “Oh! I thought the Mayans left it here.” It had been there when he moved in years before.

When Varnish Fine Art offered to represent me late last year, I got to thinking about good man, Lon and his beautiful oversized one-arm silkscreen press, for some huge format art printing. I called Lon in November last year, and the press was still there, unused, in the basement. To cut to the chase, I bought the press and hired some very talented press movers to extract this heavy machine from the basement at Aspect Gallery. So if it seemed a little quiet on my front in December, well that’s why. I was acquiring this press and then figuring out how to move this monster. Here’s some shots of the move:

So I’m telling this story to make another announcement about my upcoming art exhibition, “Mind Spring” opening this Saturday, January 14th at 4pm to 7pm at Varnish Fine Art, 16 Jesse Street, San Francisco. I printed my first large format art pieces on birch panel – editions of 40 x 60 – “Chaos” and “Cosmos” –  on the new press with brand new oversized screens. Here, you can see the giant screens I used for these art pieces:

And here’s the pieces with a chair next to them to show you the scale (sorry for the blurry cellphone shot):

Here are my Chaos and Cosmos art prints on birch panel:
