Bosco Sodi

de Claudia A. Herrera Martínez, Sara Gabriela Baz Sánchez

This exhibition was a dialogue between the artworks of the well-known contemporary artist Bosco Sodi (México City, 1970) and the artworks that embody the permanent collection of the Museo Nacional de Arte (MUNAL), from the colonial times and the 20th century. From these confrontations, the formal qualities of the different plastic representations were highlighted. The catalog presents texts by the team of the Museum regarding the purpose of art and the intersections of different periods and styles with color reproductions of the artwork of Sodi (installations with rollers, volcanic rocks and works with surfaces of great relief), in an exercise meant to confront the work of the young Mexican artist with paintings and sculptures of famous Mexican artists like José María Velasco, Ángel Zárraga, Felipe Valero, Felipe Sojo, Ignacio Asúnsolo and Rafael Montes de Oca.
