Jerry Garcia (Summer) silkscreen art print by Chuck Sperry.
Artist’s Statement
“In the second print of my portrait series I hope to capture the vitality, good humor, and optimism of the Grateful Dead’s lead guitarist and principal vocalist, the one who anchored the concert hall with his good nature, while a wild, free improvisation swirled through him and around him. I wove a psychedelic paisley pattern throughout the design rendered in nine colors, including bright hues, hand-blended metallics and translucent glazes. My aim is to portray the vital Jerry, an ‘Orpheus’ who could charm savage nature with music, a ‘Dark Star’ who journeyed from the Haight-Ashbury to the Pyramids of Egypt.” – Chuck Sperry
