Bosco Sodi

Bosco Sodi considers geology and memory throughout his textured paintings and sculptures. To create vibrant topographies on his canvases, Sodi mixes materials including sawdust, wood, pulp, natural fibers, and glue with raw, vivid pigments at times made from lapis lazuli, indigo, or soot. He makes his sculptures from earth and volcanic material that he sources from his native Mexico. Japanese aesthetics and Abstract Expressionism have informed his work, which also shares similarities with land art. Sodi has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Mexico City, Berlin, and Los Angeles. His works belong in the collections of the Nasher Sculpture Center, the Phillips Collection, Museo Jumex, Museum Voorlinden, the Contemporary Art Foundation in Tokyo, and the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan.
