Work
Sodi’s paintings are composed of pure pigment, sawdust, wood pulp, natural fibers and glue. Sodi varies the proportions of the components but the structure is always more or less the same. The amount of water added dictates how much crackling occurs. The amount of sawdust, fibers and other fillers determines the bulk, the amount of pigment applied, as well as their shade, changes the intensity and patterns of the overall color scheme and the glue holds them together forming a kind of wood based cement. The studio in which Sodi’s paintings are made has a significant effect on the overall finished product. Although his primary medium is paint, the pigments in Barcelona are different from those in New York and thus the colors produced change with each location. The constituents of water are also a variable, depending upon location, and that difference will change the tonality of colors. In a manner of speaking, Sodi’s work is site-specific.
