Between Worlds: LALO Solo Show

Between Worlds marks a major moment for LALO— his first solo show and one that's been eagerly awaited by collectors and fans alike. The exhibition features 14 new paintings across three sizes—24x24, 36x36, and 48x48 inches—each one capturing his signature cast of playful, slightly unhinged, and sometimes dangerous characters as they descend on Earth.

These mischievous figures touch down in cities and landscapes across the globe: Chicago and Los Angeles (a nod to where he studied and now works), but also Paris, Morocco, South Korea, Brazil, Costa Rica, Spain, Cambodia, New York City, Iceland, Italy, and even Antarctica. Together, the works create a globe-hopping, cartoon-fueled invasion that's as funny as it is surreal. LALO's world blends the punch of street art with the energy of animated storytelling. His paintings feel like your favorite Saturday morning cartoon took a detour through a graffiti-covered alley and came back weirder, funnier, and a little more chaotic. Think Murakami or KAWS—with a wild streak and original characters that shape-shift across settings.
