If one is akin to the world of street art, then Shepard Fairey should be a familiar pen name.

The world famous street artist and creator of the popular clothing brand, Obey, teamed up with Mark Mothersbaugh, the frontman of 70’s pop band “Devo,” to debut the two-person show on Saturday in Los Angeles.

The art show, titled “The Big Picture,” is presented by Subliminal Projects and The Art of Esylum, a non-profit organization which seeks to enrich the lives of gravely ill children through art.

Marissa Textor, gallery manager at Subliminal, says that the public’s response was a little overwhelming.

“The crowd was a little unexpected. Of course, Shepard always brings a big turnout, but it’s great.”

Fairey’s work in the show included much of the same style people are familiar with when they think of Shepard Fairey or Obey, while Mothersbaugh’s work consisted of thousands upon thousands of postcard-sized artworks, which all come together to form the “big picture.”

A man who indentified himself as “Al Crackenbrew,” said he loved the show’s concept.

“It’s about time these guys were in the same room together. They’ve been making great stuff for about 20 years,” Crackenbrew said.

In addition to original works by Fairey and Mothersbaugh, the show also featured work from terminally ill children in Los Angeles hospitals.

The work, which made up about 30 percent of the gallery, received a strong response.

“My favorite is the children’s art,” Wayne Kramer, guitarist of the rock group “MC5,” said.

“You can almost feel their energy and strength through these paintings. I love it.”

Due to the small space Subliminal Gallery had to offer, the line outside stretched out for as long as an hour and a half.

This did not deter eager art enthusiasts such as Richard Nguyen, account executive at the clothing brand Temple Effectives, from venturing out.

“Sure, I could have come later this week when there’s no line, but that’s not fun. I didn’t mind the line at all. Seeing this art and being here for the opening was worth it,” Nguyen said.

Jeff Levitz, artist and former guitarist for the rock band The Warlocks, was delighted at the response.

“It’s overwhelming,” he said. “Phenomenal. It’s a great turnout. It’s predictable, too. Shepard always brings out a great crowd.”

Marina Macer, a student at USC, said, “I think everyone should come out and see this show. It’s mind blowing.” 

“We should support the work that these two philanthropists do.”

The gallery will be open until Feb. 19 and is free to the public.
