Artifacts- The Rock Art of Emek


I went over to the Haight Street Art Center in San Francisco and saw one of best and most amazing art exhibitions I have ever seen. It is called "Artifacts-The Rock Art of Emek" Emek is known as "The thinking man's poster artist", all of his work is hand-drawn and then hand-silkscreened for each concert or event usually in limited editions of 300. In his posters, he merges music with environmentalism and civil rights in a blend of art and activism:


















To me, Emek's work is so cool. Each piece is amazing. If you get a chance head down to the Haight Street Art Center in San Francisco, the exhibition will be running through April. The best thing about it is the cost-It is free.

  8. There's quite a lot of variety in what he does isn't there? A lot of intricate detail and it would have been even more colourful and interesting in real life. Thanks for linking up with us at #MLSTL and I've shared this on my SM

  18. Without an exhibit such as this, you would never imagine one artist had created such a variety of work for diverse musicians. It is clear he spent time getting to know them - it shows in his work! Thanks for sharing!
