Bosco Sodi

BIO

Bosco Sodi (b. 1970, Mexico City). Bosco Sodi is known for his richly textured, vividly colored large-scale paintings. Sodi has discovered an emotive power within the essential crudeness of the materials that he uses to execute his paintings. Focusing on material exploration, the creative gesture, and the spiritual connection between the artist and his work, Sodi seeks to transcend conceptual barriers. Sodi leaves many of his paintings untitled, with the intention of removing any predisposition or connection beyond the work’s immediate existence. The work itself becomes a memory and a relic symbolic of the artist’s conversation with the raw material that brought the painting into creation. Sodi’s influences range from l’art informel, looking to artists such as Antoni Tàpies and Jean Dubuffet, to master colorists such as Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, and the bright hues of his native heritage. His work joins collections such as IBM Building, New York, USA, Desutche Bank, New York, USA, De la Cruz Collection, Puerto Rico, JUMEX Collection, México DF, Godia Foundation, Barcelona, Spain, Football Club Barcelona Foundation, Spain among others
