DUNAS DE SAL: Bran Sólo’s New Book Is Now Available
May 2026. After months of anticipation, Dunas de Sal — the book documenting and expanding the eponymous exhibition held at Jaco Moretti Arts gallery in Palm Springs, California — is finally on sale.
This is more than a catalogue. It’s a 176-page hardcover coffee table book, written in the first person by the artist himself, that takes you deep into the creative process behind one of the most personal exhibitions of his career.
A Summer That Refuses to Be Forgotten
When I paint the Mediterranean, I’m not representing a place — I’m representing a memory.
That is the premise running through the entire show. Bran Sólo returns in these works to the coastline where he grew up: the dark silent siestas, the melancholy of knowing summer must end, the vulnerable bodies arriving at the shore searching for something they can’t name. Figures waiting in the dunes, beneath the pines, on warm sand. Perhaps for another body. Perhaps for a love that lasts as long as a season.
The Mediterranean becomes metaphor here. The salt flats beside the beaches — their white, virgin mountains of salt, silent and still — mirror that paradox: beauty born from evaporation, existing only after everything else has dried away.
What You’ll Find Inside
The book collects all the paintings from the exhibition, alongside the cyanotypes and personal Polaroid photographs that completed the show. But it also contains what most catalogues never include: the artist’s own voice speaking about inspiration, motivation, process, and outcome.
The volume also features a foreword by Jaco Moretti and an introduction by Marty Treinen.
