Ana Mas Projects presents Rita Sala’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. The artist, who began working with the gallery in 2023 and officially joined its portfolio recently, took part with Ana Mas Projects at the 2023 CAN Ibiza art fair and presented a solo project at the 2024 Investec Cape Town Art Fair.

In recent years, the Catalan artist has been exploring the human need to signify the space one occupies and surrounds oneself with, and to find meaning. From that starting point, her painting aims to configure a space that, while contained, also contains figures that function as a background and a background that is a figure.

For this exhibition, Sala has produced a new series of works in which she returns once more to the practice of oil painting. On this occasion, she focuses on the landscape, examining it from an expanded perspective as a journey that goes through stages, layers, imaginary worlds and is affected by other emotional, sexual and political systems. Her work is constructed around pictorial narratives that alternate and overlap, which circulate and interrelate through different locations, levels and points of view. Twists and turns, between abstract and everyday issues, that all point to the same thing: human beings and their activity, thoughts and affections, memories and life stories.
