Bosco Sodi’s research is outstanding for its simplicity of materials from a natural origin, such as pigments, sawdust, fibers, wood, soil, etc. The combination of these elements with the gesturality of his production makes each work unique, while creating a special connection between the artist and his process of creation, which transcends the conceptual. Currently, he has been making increasing use of techniques from olden times, which not only establish a direct relationship with the ethnobotanical discourse, but also recover his native Latin American ancestrality. Bosco Sodi also associates these techniques to traditional and contemporary processes, dialoguing with the movements of land art and informalism.In his artistic research, Bosco Sodi engages with the simplicity of natural materials – pigments, sawdust, fibers, wood, and earth – while honoring traditional Latin American concepts and values. The interplay of these elements with the gestural quality of his production lends each work an exceptional character.The series Moon Sack Paintings evolved from his Sun Paintings, where instead of the traditional canvas Sodi works with the raw texture of burlap sacks used for storing chili peppers, a traditional ingredient in Mexican cuisine. Inspired by the landscape surrounding his studio at the Casa Wabi art center, the paintings still carry the aroma of the chilis. Casa Wabi is a cornerstone of all the artist’s recent research.Em sua pesquisa artística, Bosco Sodi opta pela simplicidade de materiais de origem natural, como pigmentos, serragem, fibras, madeira e terra, além de celebrar conceitos e valores tradicionais latino-americanos. A combinação desses elementos com a gestualidade da sua produção proporcionam um caráter excepcional a cada obra.A série “Moon Sack Paintings” é um desdobramento de “Sun Paintings”, na qual o artista substitui as telas pela superfície áspera dos sacos de estopa usados para a armazenagem de pimentas, produto tradicional na culinária mexicana. Inspiradas pela própria paisagem da Casa Wabi, as pinturas ainda carregam o aroma das pimentas. Vale lembrar, que a Casa Wabi é elemento fundamental em toda a pesquisa recente do artista.
