Lending rock and alternative music a form of visual expression in sync with their urban environments, Chuck Sperry, Chris Shaw, and Ron Donovan embrace, alter, re-assign meaning and re-contextualize images until they become the medium-the subject emerging, used purposely–irreverently or reverently–to transform ephemeral events and experiences into a lexicon of shared cultural visual memory.
“Donovan, Shaw and Sperry have made their living creating expressive contemporary prints and posters for both the collector and the general public whose capacity for images is not just at its maximum, but teetering on overload. Dedication to their craft has rewarded them with a mastery of color theory, composition and print design that creates a language that can be seen, perhaps almost heard, amidst a visually competitive, urban environment. Never known for following the consensus of any art establishment, these three have a strict loyalty to their craft, and have become leading innovators of the rock poster art form. Their suspicion and disdain for mainstream American politics often characterizes their approach to making art. With a sincere dedication to a broad public audience, they reflect a social consciousness and draw much from the immediate urban environment.” — Renee de Cossio, curator SFMOMA
These posters were a joint print-venture collaboration between Chris Shaw and Ron Donovan. The show took place at San Francisco’s Warfield Theatre on the 10th and 11th of March 2010. As was the case with the regular edition, the 2 posters are the same except for the date, printed on Hendix’s fingernails. 38 variants for the 3/10 date and 37 variants for the 3/11 date were printed. Variants were silkscreened at the Firehouse in Oakland using stunning metallics inks on iridescent, linen & uncoated stock.
