Daniela [Turudich] Soberman Serbian-American Daniela Soberman’s sculptures incarnate primal volcanic acts of creation evoking brutalist architecture, Cycladic monuments, zen ink painting and expressionist film sets.
Soberman is a self-taught artist who is influenced by her background as a first-generation Serbian American and her travels in the former Yugoslavia.
Her sculptures plunge the viewer into a realm of frenzied making, unmaking, and remaking as styrofoam and ink transform into weathered stone, petrified wood, fragments of ruined mazes, and glazed cookies bitten by gargantuan gods.
Primarily known for her immersive architectural-scale sculptures, Soberman creates intimate works that redefine the balance between structure and unrestrained expression. Her solo exhibitions include Willmore Resurrected (immersive installation for the Getty Museum), Memorial to the Future (immersive installation for the LA Art Show), Deconstructed Labyrinth and Stage 3 (immersive installations for the Torrance Art Museum), Points of Intersection (immersive installation for the Long Beach Museum of Art), When We Grow Up (Gallery Solo), Gallery SADE.
