Frieze Los Angeles 2020: Calida Rawles

February 14 - 16, 2020

Reflecting on topographical matters which shape and hold black life, Rawles merges realism with poetic abstraction through immersive paintings using acrylic on canvas. The exhibition explores water as a multifaceted material, considering possibilities of womanhood, tranquility, and otherworldliness. Water serves as both historical reference to Black suffering and architect of black serenity in escape and spiritual cleansing.
