{"product_id":"bosco-sodi-9780847867875","title":"Bosco Sodi","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first comprehensive publication on Mexican-born artist Bosco Sodi  whose paintings and sculptures combine preindustrial minimalist and arte povera traditions with elements of Oaxacan and Japanese culture.  Sodi has described his creative process as \"controlled chaos\" that makes \"something completely unrepeatable and unique.\" In his most celebrated body of work  the artist mixes raw pigment with sawdust  wood  pulp  and natural fibers to create the dense surfaces of monochrome paintings. As the layers of material dry  fissured \"landscapes\" form without the guidance or intervention of the artist. Sodis sculptural process reflects traditions of his Mexican heritage.  At his studio  Casa Wabi  in Oaxaca  he uses raw earth clay to create kiln-fired cubes  spheres  and bricks. Stacked into columns as minimalist sculpture or assembled as a field or wall  these projects range in scale from architectural installations to earthworks. Sodi also collects solidified volcanic magma from the Ceboruco volcano to make rock sculptures. These fragments are coated in a ceramic glaze and precious metals  uniting geological processes with art-making techniques.  This book reflects Sodis distinct material processes  with essays detailing his relationship to Oaxacan and wabi-sabi aesthetics  as well as his engagement with artistic traditions ranging from minimalism to arte povera to land art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45924524654645,"sku":"ByrdShop_0847867870","price":1006.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780847867875.jpg?v=1787675255","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/bosco-sodi-9780847867875","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
