Chuck Sperry, born in 1962, is a celebrated American artist and master printmaker best known for his psychedelic silkscreen prints and iconic rock posters. His work is a fusion of Art Nouveau, pop art, and classical symbolism, often featuring female muses with flowing hair and intricate, shimmering patterns. Sperry gained prominence in the San Francisco music scene, where he designed limited edition posters for legendary bands including Pearl Jam, The Who, and The Rolling Stones, with his work now archived at institutions like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
A dedicated craftsman, Sperry is known for his hands-on approach, meticulously hand printing each color layer by layer in his Oakland studio, Hangar 18, a process he views as a critical part of the artistic expression itself. Beyond music, he is a notable political activist, having co-edited the political comic book World War 3 Illustrated and created powerful protest art, such as the iconic poster for Occupy Oakland. Sperry's art, which he describes as a "utopian provocation," is internationally recognized, with solo exhibitions in major cities like Paris, Rome, and New York, and a large format book, Color x Color: The Sperry Archive 1980-2020, documenting his extensive career.
