ROME POSTER WEB

The Flowers of Popular Victories

World renown American screen-print artist Chuck Sperry from San Francisco will be showing his new original large-scale works of art at Mondo Bizzarro Gallery, Rome. Mr. Sperry’s art is energized by the political street art and concert posters he has prolifically created for over 25 years. His new pieces, exhibited in Rome for the first time, express the synergy of social concern and popular iconography, graffiti and detourned classical themes, political outrage and imagery drawn from the Century-long world tradition of poster-making. This is his first ever solo show.
