Gallery SADE Los Angeles is pleased to announce its first solo exhibition with American born, Los Angeles-based artist Daniela Soberman. Primarily known for her massive and immersive architectural-scale sculptures at the LA Art Show, the Getty Museum, the Torrance Art Museum, and “Points of Intersection” -- a complete takeover of the Long Beach Museum of Art, Soberman presents a new group of intimate works that redefine the balance between structure and unrestrained expression. Soberman is a self-taught artist who is greatly influenced by her background as a first-generation Serbian American and her travels in the former Yugoslavia. Her childhood was spent experiencing the city landscape without restraint, shadowed by the brutalist buildings that accompanied her. The daughter of an inventor and an artist, Soberman says she tries to “tap into that same lack of fear and adventure when creating the work”. Fearlessness and rebellion rule. Soberman courageously simulates lost urban landscapes - angular and fluffy plastered jungles built on dreams and grit and disappearing poets. Soberman makes work that takes up space then throws it back at you. Her hand-sculpted creations seduce the viewer into realms of frenzied making, unmaking, and remaking. Towering interlocking forms, made of plaster and various other compulsive materials, are a silently approachable, yet looming vortex. They delight and depress and are reminiscent of “weathered stone, ruins, and glazed cookies bitten by gargantuan gods”. Soberman is a storyteller who wants us all to feel connected, unrestrained, and open to play. What this body of work evokes is part of a greater narrative - part of the impulsive integrity of those who welcome its invitation. The exhibition will contain a bonus group exhibition of friends, including: Alexandra Grant, Trulee Hall, Alvaro Ilizarbe, Nellie King Solomon, Max Presneill, Steve Schmidt, Andrew Hunczak, and a Sabbath Soberman collab. Daniela Soberman’s work has been featured in numerous exhibitions including The LA Art Fair (2022), The Getty Museum (2022), Wonzimer Gallery (2022), the Torrence Art Museum (2022), and Long Beach Museum of Art (2022). Soberman lives and works in Los Angeles. An opening reception for the artist will be held on Friday, December 9 from 7:00 – 11:00 pm.
