Sol Mussa (b. 1996) is a Galician interdisciplinary artist based in London. Focusing primarily on visual anthropology, she works across various mediums including painting, sculpture, and filmmaking. She specialized in painting at L’Accademia di Brera in Milan, studied Visual Anthropology at Goldsmiths and completed her MA in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, where she was awarded the Mona Hatoum Foundation scholarship.
Her practice explores marginalization within the urban space through an approximate approach, opening up a discussion about trash, hierarchies and race. The totality of the work appears to display in a public space elements that must be hidden in a private one, bringing out what is felt to be ‘the dirty’ to the clean white cube, allowing the invisible to be visible; the unvalued to be valued.
Sol’s work is part of the Fundación Mª Cristina Masaveucollection and has been exhibited at IKLECTIK in London, LUX in London, and the Urvanity Art Fair in Madrid.
