BOSCO SODI AND THE VOLUME OF DARKNESS
Bosco Sodi (Mexico, 1970) explores deeply in El día que nos volvimos a encontrar a universe quite distant from his recognizable large format and liveliness production to delve into the pleasures of the search for new material expressions and the abandonment of the chromatic in favour of texture, the depth of the absence of colour and concept.
In this individual exhibition in Madrid, the Mexican artist presents ten works of identical format and technique with which he gets into that link between work and expression and provokes, at the same time, an underlying mention to On Kawara with the imperfect and daily insertion of the line.
This element, together with the randomness of the material that serves as support in each piece of the exhibition and the realization of a daily work, directly alludes to involuntary growth, to the idiosyncrasy of passive change, of involuntary and yet unstoppable transformation. Therefore, the artist's will towards whoever observes his black paintings reaffirms the atavism of the unknown, of the profound, of the shadow, sometimes as perfect in its fullness as it is amorphous in its volume, despite the fact that the technique employed produces, precisely, a new dimensionality. Thus, the space is aimed at that almost romantic vision of darkness, a poetic language that, in its universe, poses new dialogues between space and concept.
El día que nos volvimos a encontrar will be open until May 25 at Galería Hilario Galguera, Doctor Fourquet, 12, Madrid, Spain.
