Po Boy History

Po’ Boy Art Gallery and Framing is now doing art show’s every first fri of the month.  Jason Brown has owned Po Boy Art as a frame shop for many years, but recently he decided to join the First Friday artwalk in Portland and convert his cozy warehouse space into a monthly art venue.  With the help and partnership of fellow artist and curator, Chris Haberman, the duo will run events in this space.  Brown is known distinctly for his tenure as curator of The Goodfoot Gallery (also in SE Stark) which holds monthly art events for nearly a decade.  This Grand Opening event is sure to draw a large crowd from the art community and the Brown/Haberman team are pretty dang happy to be working together.

Po’ Boy Art presents “Fool’s Gold Art – OR Recessionary Kindlin’” over 150 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.  ”I appreciate the creative freedom this medium allows me because the bands generally give me total freedom as long as I advertise the show info. I am allowed to dip into the recesses of my imagination and see what spills out onto the page. This allows me to be my own art director and I am able to experiment with different concepts and styles to keep things fresh. Today’s disposable culture paves the way for tomorrows collectable nostalgia…I’m just trying to make it interesting” 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.
