Bosco Sodi is a Mexican contemporary artist. He was born in Mexico City in 1970, and works in Barcelona, Berlin, Oaxaca, and New York City.[1][2]
Sodi is known for his use of organic materials to conceive expansive and richly textured paintings and sculptures. His body of work contains a large number of large-scale textured, monochromatic paintings, made of raw pigment mixed with sawdust, wood pulp, natural fibers, and glue. His work often refers to geological forms and processes. Sodi has also worked in large-scale sculpture, incorporating raw earth and clay from Oaxaca, as well as solidified volcanic magma from the Ceboruco volcano.[3]
In 2014, Sodi founded the Casa Wabi art foundation in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico. The main building in the Casa Wabi complex was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architect Tadao Ando, and a number of other architects have contributed pavilions or landscapes to the site, including Solano Benitez, who won the Golden Lion for best participant in the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale.[4][5]
Sodi received media attention from his site-specific installation Muro, which was first built in Washington Square Park in New York City on 8 September 2017. Consisting of a wall of bricks made in Mexico, the wall was built and dismantled the same day by passers-by who took one brick each.[2] The work was created again on the South Bank in London to coincide with Donald Trump's 2018 visit to the United Kingdom[6], as well as in the 2019 group exhibition The Visible Turn: Contemporary Artists Confront Political Invisibility at the University of South Florida Contemporary Art Museum.[7]
In July 2020, the first comprehensive retrospective of his work was published by Rizzoli.[8]
