Art Chantry Poster Show

Don't miss this show folks, Chantry is a legendary designer known best for his low-FI designs for rock bands, like Nirvana, Hole, the Cramps, and the Sonics. These bands epitomize the Seattle music scene of the 1990s, and Chantry’s designs have become the visual record of that same scene. When designing Chantry prefers to work with his hands using less technologically sophisticated processes. In a 2002 interview, Chantry explained that he doesn’t “love the computer as a one-stop all-solution design tool.” He went on to say that, “there is no more direct a path to ideas than hardwired mind-to-fingers.” The plethora of ideas his manual manipulation has afforded will be represented at Bradley University Galleries by splash of over 100 posters.
