ARTIST BIO

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.

Over the last 2 decades, Emek has created hundreds of posters for some of the top alternative bands and events, like TOOL, The Flaming Lips, Radiohead, Coachella Festival, Queens of the Stone Age, Jane's Addiction, 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, in Berlin, London, Tokyo, belguim and Canada. He has been interviewed on CNN, featured in magazines and books, and has his own 300 page book.

"Emek has great design and impeccable political sentiments, what more could you ask for on a poster?"
