Alsendoe Owens
Alsendoe is a Detroit-based artist working out of the PASC Detroit studio. Alsendoe is like the Giacometti of the studio, battling the existential crisis of depicting an object in space. Alsendoe works rapidly, producing many watercolors in one sitting, distinguished by strong, energetic gestural linework in pencil and Sharpie and contrasting colors following the shadows and volume of each object. He has a wide range of subjects, from portraits of people to ancient sculptures and artifacts.
He has exhibited at the University of Michigan, Institute for the Humanities, Ann Arbor, MI (2025); PASC Detroit Gallery, Detroit, MI (2024/25); Art Enables, Washington, DC (2024); BasBlue, Detroit, MI (2024); MOCAD, Detroit, MI (2023); Ford Art Gallery at WCCC, Belleville, MI (2023); Swords Into Plowshares Gallery Detroit, MI (2022); PASC Detroit Pop-Up Gallery (2022); The Scarab Club, Detroit, MI (2021); the PASC Southgate Gallery, Southgate, MI (2021); and in two online exhibitions on the PASC website. His artwork has been presented at the Outsider Art Fair with Shelter Gallery, NYC, New York (2025); Open Invitational Art Fair, Miami, FL (2024); NADA with White Columns Gallery, Miami, FL (2024). And as of 2024, his work has been acquired by the Cranbrook Art Museum for their permanent collection.
