About this poster
This is a striking art print titled "End of the Trail" by EMEK, featuring a design that was originally created for a 2006 Ween concert poster at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The piece showcases extraordinary technical complexity with its 14-color composition. The artwork demonstrates remarkable printing craftsmanship, using 12 screens including a glow-in-the-dark layer, plus two sophisticated color blends - one in the sky transitioning from dark to light, and another in the ground shifting from light to dark.
The image reimagines James Earle Fraser's famous "End of the Trail" sculpture as a steampunk allegory. The original's weary Native American warrior and horse have been transformed into intricate mechanical beings rendered in brass-like tones. Every detail is meticulously crafted with gears, pistons, and mechanical joints, while still capturing the emotional weight of the original sculpture's themes of exhaustion and defeat.
The mechanical figures are positioned atop a massive tree stump, surrounded by a clear-cut landscape of other stumps. A large, detailed moon or planet dominates the background, its cratered surface rendered in ethereal blue tones that contrast with the metallic warmth of the main figures. The sky features clouds with subtle reddish-purple hues, demonstrating the sophisticated color blending technique mentioned by the artist.
The print is part of a limited edition of 500, and hand-signed by EMEK. While this art print shares the core design with the concert poster, it features distinct variations in color, detail, and printing techniques. The piece brilliantly merges environmental commentary with technological imagery, while preserving the poignant emotional resonance of Fraser's original work. The addition of the glow-in-the-dark layer adds another dimension to the viewing experience, though this effect isn't visible in the standard photograph.
Part of the Injustice 4-pc sticker set.
