Zen Bones Silkscreen Poster
This poster celebrates the 1967 "Zenefit" event, a fundraiser for the Tassajara Hot Springs, held in San Francisco’s iconic Avalon Ballroom. The evening was filled with the wisdom of Alan Watts, who shared his insights on Zen Buddhism, exploring themes like the nature of reality, the illusions we live by, and how to achieve a state of "suchness"—a core Zen concept of being fully present in the moment. Zenefit was a pivotal moment that brought together countercultural thinkers, spiritual seekers, and the curious, all eager to understand more about Zen in the modern world. Watts, with his characteristic blend of humor and depth, offered guidance on how to navigate the complexities of life through Zen teachings, making these ancient philosophies accessible to a Western audience. This poster reflects the spirit of that event, celebrating both the ideas shared and the transformative era in which they were discussed.
The "Zen Bones" poster is made using a 4-color screen printing process by New Duds, a Vermont-based screen printing shop. It’s printed on Cougar Natural 100#C Paper, a sturdy, off-white stock that gives the design a warm, natural feel. With its full-bleed style, the artwork stretches right to the edges for a seamless and polished look. Sized at 11 x 17 inches (28 x 43 cm), it's a perfect way to bring a touch of calm and creativity to your space.
