Bosco Sodi — diameter 73 1/4 in. (186.1 cm)
Bosco Sodi

diameter 73 1/4 in. (186.1 cm)

A commanding circular canvas by Mexican artist Bosco Sodi, this large-scale work showcases his signature use of raw, natural materials — sawdust, glue, and pure organic pigment — applied in thick, textured layers that crack and shift across the surface. The work's expansive diameter invites contemplation of organic processes, as the materials are largely left to dry and settle on their own, creating an unpredictable landscape of fissures and relief. Sodi's practice bridges painting and sculpture, transforming humble substances into meditations on nature, chance, and materiality.
