context_page_description: Chuck Sperry is an American artist best known for his screen prints on paper and oak panel, his limited-edition rock posters for bands such as Widespread Panic and Pearl Jam, and his political protest art. Since 1985, Sperry's iconography has ranged from astronauts walking on the surface of the moon to portraits of performers as varied as Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, and Chrissie Hynde. Beginning in 2010, many of Sperry's prints have featured images of female muses from Greek mythology.
context_section_description: Taking his work on the road has been a recurring part of Sperry's artistic practice since 1999. During the last two decades, Sperry has traveled the world with his art, showing in individual exhibitions at music venues, activist social centers, and galleries.
  In the United States, Sperry has shown his art in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, and Detroit. Sperry has also toured Europe extensively, exhibiting and appearing with his work in Paris  London, Rome, Geneva, Berlin, Athens, Buenos Aires, and Belgrade.
  In 2012, Sperry made a tour of Argentina (Buenos Aires, Rosario, Mar del Plata) on a trip to attend the Trimarchi Design Conference, the biggest design conference in the Spanish-speaking world. At that event, he delivered a two-hour-plus presentation of his life and art to a stadium audience of 5,000. He also exhibited in galleries in Buenos Aires, and gave a lecture at the University of Buenos Aires FADU.
  In 2013, Sperry created an art installation in a seaside chapel on a promontory square visible around the Golfo de Poeti in the village of Tellaro, Italy. He transformed the church into a temple of the muses, projected onto the face of the church a psychedelic liquid light show commissioned for the occasion of Grateful Dead light show maestro Bill Ham, and played a specially commissioned musical accompaniment by The Young Gods singer and composer, Franz Treichler.
  And in 2014, Sperry's poster art was exhibited as a part of La Fête du Graphisme sponsored by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication and the Paris City Council. For that event, an exhibition titled "Gig Posters: 150 Affiches Underground Américaines Contemporaines" was displayed at Les Docks Cité de la Mode et du Design in Paris.
