Bosco Sodi (born 1970 in Mexico City) is a contemporary artist known for his large-scale paintings with rich textures and vibrant colors. His work is centered around the emotional and spiritual power of raw materials. Sodi uses simple, natural elements such as raw pigments, wood shavings, wood pulp and natural fibers to create the thick, dynamic surfaces of his monochrome paintings. As the layers dry, she allows the material to organically guide the final composition by creating cracks and patterns, making each work unique and unpredictable. The artist's creative process is driven by a sense of "controlled chaos" and aims to transcend traditional conceptions of art making. Sodi leaves most of his works untitled, as it frees them from any specific meaning or connection, allowing the viewer to experience the work more directly, free from predetermined ideas. This approach allows each painting to become a physical document, a record of the artist's dialog with the materials.

Sodi leaves most of his works untitled, as it allows the viewer to experience the work more directly, free from predetermined ideas, by divorcing it from a specific meaning or connection. This approach focuses on each painting as a physical document, a record of the artist's dialog with the materials. Sodi's influences include artists such as Antoni Tàpies and Jean Dubuffet, and masters of color such as Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko, while his own Mexican heritage is significantly reflected in the colors and textures of his work.
