Sallamari Rantala
Fuzzy Chronology

Sallamari Rantala is a Finnish artist currently living and working in Vilnius. Her work crystallises from observing the movement and transformation of materials in her surroundings. Combining drawing and material-shaping techniques, she often creates relief-like works that blur the boundary between surface and three-dimensionality, creating hints to compositions and stories hidden within their reciprocal relationship. Rantala has had solo exhibitions at Å-galleria, Turku, Finland; Våga se Space, Stockholm; and Verpėjos, Marcinkonys, Lithuania. She has also participated in group exhibitions at the CAC, Vilnius; VAA Titanikas, Vilnius; and the Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania, Vilnius, among others. She was the winner of the JCDecaux Prize in 2020.
