Bosco Sodi (born Mexico City, 1970) is a Mexican visual artist known for his work in painting, sculpture, and installations. His practice focuses on experimentation with organic materials and natural processes, exploring impermanence and chance.
Bosco Sodi was born in Mexico City in 1970. From the beginning of his career, he has shown interest in raw materials and uncontrolled processes. He lives and works between New York, Berlin, Barcelona, and Oaxaca.
In 2014, he founded Fundación Casa Wabi , an artist residency and community project space located on the coast of Oaxaca, partly designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando.
Sodi's production is characterized by the use of natural pigments, sawdust, fibers, resins, and clay. These materials are mixed and left to dry outdoors, allowing environmental factors such as humidity and temperature to alter the final result.
His practice seeks to highlight the relationship between nature and the creative process. His works often display rough surfaces, cracks, and textures that emerge unpredictably.
Among his influences are art informel, artists such as Antoni Tàpies, Jean Dubuffet, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko, as well as the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi.
Sodi has exhibited in museums and galleries across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Recent exhibitions include:
