Bosco Sodi ’s first U.S. gallery exhibition features the Mexican-born artist’s richly textured, vividly colored large-scale monochrome paintings in hues of pink, blue, and black. The title, Ubi sunt, literally means 'where are...' and is a medieval Latin poetic motif that speaks to the transitory nature of youth, life, and beauty. Sodi mines an emotive power from the essential crudeness of the materials that he uses to execute his paintings, focusing on the creative gesture and the spiritual connection between the artist and the process that brings his paintings into being. The exhibition follows a major show of the artist’s work at The Bronx Museum of the Arts last year.
