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.

 

He has presented solo shows at prominent institutions that include the Fondazione dell’Alberto d’Oro, Venice, Italy (2022, as part of the official program of Venice Biennale); University of South Florida Contemporary Art Museum, Tampa, USA (2021); CAC Málaga, Spain (2020); the Royal Society of Sculptors, London, England (2019); the Museo di Scultura Antica Giovanni Barracco, Rome, Italy (2019); the Mexican Cultural Institute, Washington, DC, USA (2019); the Museo Nacional de Arte, Mexico (2017); and the Bronx Museum, New York, USA (2010). He has participated in group shows at venues that include the Harbour Arts Sculpture Park, Hong Kong (2018); the Museum of Modern Art, Gunma, Japan (2017) and the Museo Espacio, Mexico (2016). Bosco Sodi’s work is also part of important collections such as Colección JUMEX (Mexico), the Harvard Art Museums (USA), the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (USA), the New Orleans Museum of Art (USA), the Scottish National Gallery of Art (Scotland), and Walker Art Center (USA).
