A Taste of Salt (2023)
Simchowitz Gallery, DTLA
Simchowitz Gallery is proud to announce A Taste of Salt, the first solo exhibition of the South African artist Nicola Roos in Los Angeles. Roos is best known for her life-sized figurative sculptures drawn from little-known, but important historical figures.
Many stand over 6-feet-tall and are adorned with the armor, warrior masks and katanas (swords) of the Samurai. That gives them an air of extraordinary power and menace, which, despite being rooted in history, can often feel more haunted or phantom-like.
