In Paris, Chuck Sperry centers on his female figures and goddesses. The artist unveils the exhibition Archetypes at the Art Generation gallery, running from June 13 to August 1, 2026. A free exhibition that brings together familiar works and original, unpublished pieces. Visitors can expect around forty works, including screen prints on paper and wood panels, personal archives, and collector cards drawn from Chuck Sperry’s universe.

The Archetypes exhibition invites visitors into a highly symbolic realm, where women become allegories, Greek goddesses, or mythic figures. In its own way, the artist imagines a new face for the Danaids, Courage, Love, the Bacchae, Freedom, and the goddess Athena... Chuck Sperry sees in these women a thread that binds all of humanity, a celebration of life and of what drives us.

Through these inspired works, the artist seeks to remind visitors of the fundamental values that should guide us, values that deserve to be honored and safeguarded. Beauty, then, serves an engaged message, aimed at spreading these values to as wide an audience as possible.

The exhibition is quite expansive, offering a diverse array of portraits, a few paintings that hide surprising effects, and the artist’s signature series. Along the way, you’ll also discover other artists and works from the Art Generation gallery to round out this brief artistic stroll.

Come enjoy this free exhibition to discover a prominent contemporary artist, and dive into this optimistic, colorful world.
