First Thursday is over. It was a big one. Now it is time for First Friday and this is the show to check out. Over 250 pieces by EMEK including many music posters you'll probably recognize. This is the third (I believe) show at Po' Boy and the other two were very successful. I'm sure this will be the same.

From Po' Boy Art

Po' Boy Art presents "Fool's Gold Art — OR Recessionary Kindlin'" over 200 Rock posters, art prints, and handbills, past to present from artists EMEK.  Show open's First Friday Aug 6th from 5-11pm, the show will be up until Sept 1st

Emek has been referred to as "The Thinking Man's Poster Artist". Coming from a unique family of 5 artists, Emek has made his mark creating special limited edition silkscreen posters for live concerts around the world. Emek' style thrives on attention to detail, coupled with layers of meaning in the artwork. His infusion of socio-political commentary into pop culture imagery has made his work instantly recognizable in the field. Emphasizing craftsmanship, his work is mostly hand-drawn in the tradition of the classic psychedelic posters from the 1960′s. Born in the 70′s Emek was also strongly influenced by the DIY punk flyers of the 80's.

Over the last 2 decades, Emek has created hundreds of posters for some of the top alternative bands and events, like Radiohead, Coachella, Queens of the Stone Age, Tool, System of a Down, Jane's Addiction, The Flaming Lips, to name a few, as well as album covers from Neil Young and Pearl Jam to Henry Rollins and Erykah Badu. Emek's work has been shown in galleries across the United States, Berlin, London, Tokyo, Belgium and Canada. He has been interviewed on CNN, featured in dozens of magazines and books, including covers of Juxtapoz magazine.
