Sculpture Milwaukee Opens Second Season

Mexican artist Bosco Sodi creates paintings and sculptures using materials from the earth. Deeply influenced by the Japanese interest in the beauty of imperfection, Sodi sees aesthetic value in the disarray of everyday life. In recent years, he has been building stacks of cubes made from earth. These elemental building blocks, which have built cities throughout human history, take on new meaning at this scale. By placing Sodi’s Untitled, 2017 on Milwaukee’s main street, the juxtaposition of nature versus culture, modern versus ancient, poses questions about the shifting urban landscapes that we create today.
