Bosco Sodi at Asia Society Hongkong
News content
Bosco Sodi’s clay sculpture Untitled (2019) is included in the Sculpture Exhibition co-presented by Asia Society Hong Kong Center (ASHK) and The Hong Kong Art Gallery Association (HKAGA) from 26 March to 26 April. The exhibition features 21 sculptures from 18 participating galleries around the historic premise of Asia Society, situated at the Former Explosives Magazine of the British old Victoria Barracks in Admiralty.
Sodi’s sculpture was created at the artist’s studio, Casa Wabi, in Oaxaca, Mexico, where he extracts raw earth from the ground and combines it with water and sand to form clay. He uses this elemental material, embedded with ancestral significance, to create minimalist sculptures. Once cured, the clay sculptures are fired in a traditional brick kiln with wood, jacaranda seeds, and coconut shells, a process that imbues the sculptures with varied terracotta hues, streaks of green and black, and a multitude of fissures in the surface, giving each cube a unique identity.
An online Art Talk program will be held on Saturday, March 28 at Asia Society Hong Kong.
