A pesquisa de Bosco Sodi prima pela simplicidade de materiais de origem natural, como pigmentos, serragem, fibras, madeira, terra, etc. A combinação desses elementos com a gestualidade da sua produção, proporcionam um caráter excepcional a cada obra, que segundo o artista “torna-se impossível de ser replicada”, além de atribuir uma conexão especial entre ele e a sua prática de criação, que transcende o conceitual. Atualmente, e cada vez mais, sua produção utiliza técnicas antigas, que além de estabelecer uma relação direta com o discurso etnobotânico, resgata sua ancestralidade nativo-latinoamericana. Bosco Sodi também associa essas técnicas a processos tradicionais e contemporâneos, dialogando com os movimentos Land Art e o “Informalismo”.

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.
