pascALEjandro at BLUM Los Angeles

ANOTHER WORLD is Alejandro Jodorowsky and Pascale Montandon-Jodorowsky’s (known together as pascALEjandro) second exhibition at BLUM Los Angeles. The show features over twenty vignettes on paper. Using mixed media such as watercolor and colored pencils, Jodorowsky’s illustrations embody the masculine, whereas Montandon-Jodorowsky’s paintings represent the feminine. At times, the duo adds objects to their flat surfaces, elevating them to three-dimensional objects. pascALEjandro expand upon their individual talents together, creating stories with their work that features “paranormal creatures and mystical lovers” who “dance between life and death.”  They view their work as a manifesto of their union, uncompromising love, and sincerity, inviting viewers to participate in their world of poetry and magic.
