Once recognized solely for his ubiquitous guerrilla street art, featuring the face of Andre the Giant in his “The Medium is the Message” and “Obey Giant” campaigns, artist Shepard Fairey is now preparing to exhibit what he has dubbed his landmark show.
The show, “E Pluribus Venom,” features over 100 pieces in two galleries — one in Chelsea and the other at the DUMBO Installation Space, 81 Front St.
The Brooklyn show runs June 21 to July 6 and features five large murals and roughly 32 framed works. You can also witness the artist as DJ at an open reception on June 21 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., along with DJs Cosmo Baker and 10 Fingers.
