Post Neo Explosionism is a movement founded by three giants of rock poster art: Justin Hampton, Emek and Jermaine Rogers. They have come together in an unprecedented union of talents that began with a group showing of their works in Seattle in the fall of 2002 at the famed Showbox Theater. This show brought them together in a unique celebration of each others talents. Here, the seeds of PNE were sown. The now-historic two-night showing of their works included performances from numerous bands that played in their honor including solo sets from Doug Martch from Built To Spill and Dave Mercer from The Shins. The immense display of over ten thousand square feet of rock posters and music was greeted with a massive turnout and outstanding reviews. The three artists created giant collaborative screen printed poster to mark the event, and the result was a blending of creativity that was palatably significant. The possibilities of this union seemed endless...
Hampton, Emek and Rogers each have been working in the field
since the early '90s. Though relatively young, they have over
30 years of professional experience between them. Each artist
brings his own significant fan base to the table. Like the Impressionists
of the late 19th century, PNE realized that there was strength
in numbers: they could make a real mark together as a united
front. They draw upon many artistic influences, especially those
of the Explosionists. Melding high-impact imagery with solid
content, the Explosionists were known for their works of controversy.
Decades later, the Neo-Explosionists continued this tradition,
taking it a step further by creating new mediums for their work
to flourish.
It became obvious to Hampton, EMEK and Rogers that
they were, in fact, the next link in the 'Explosionism' chain...the
Post Neo Explosionists. A 'Movement' was resurrected.
