Between Worlds: A Solo Show with LALO

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 24x 24, 36x36, and 48x48 inches - each one capturing his signature cast of playful, slightly unhinged and sometimes dangerous charachters as the 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, New York City, Iceland, Italy and even Antartica. Together, the works create a globe-hopping, cartoon-fueled invasion that’s as funny as it’s 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.

Born in Cleveland and shaped by his Costa Rican heritage, LALO studied in Chicago before building his studio practice in Los Angeles. With a growing collector base and an unmistakable visual voice, this debut solo show marks the start of something big.
Curated by artist and mentor Lefty OUT There - who has long championed LALO's work-Between Worlds is brought to life by a team that believes deeply in his vision. Lefty and VSG Director, Allan Weinberger, have been longtime collaborators and creative partners, who are united with a shared belief in LALO and everything his future holds.
Come see what happens when imagination takes over Earth-and stay for the party.
