Bosco Sodi Mexican, b. 1970
Bosco Sodi (b. 1970, Mexico City, Mexico) is a contemporary artist known for his richly textured, materially driven works that explore the relationship between nature, chance, and human intervention. Largely self-taught, Sodi’s practice embraces organic processes, allowing elements such as gravity, heat, and time to shape the final form of his paintings and sculptures.
Working with raw materials including sawdust, pigment, natural fibres, and clay, Sodi creates deeply tactile surfaces and monumental forms that balance control and unpredictability. His work is influenced by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, celebrating imperfection and impermanence.
Sodi’s work has been exhibited internationally, with solo exhibitions at institutions such as the Museo Anahuacalli (Mexico City), the Dallas Contemporary, and the Museo Nacional de Arte (Mexico). In 2014, he founded Fundación Casa Wabi in Oaxaca, a non-profit residency programme designed to foster collaboration between artists and local communities.
His works are held in major public and private collections worldwide.
