The exhibition includes a powerful group of paintings titled “Vers l’Espagne”, whose rough surfaces recall creek beds and the footpaths trod by Mexican and Central American immigrants on their way north, as well two new series Sodi made in Mexico in 2020 during pandemic lockdown: large spherical clay sculptures he has called “perfect bodies” and a series of “Sun Paintings” on chili pepper sacks, both fashioned with materials that were readily available at his studio in Oaxaca, Mexico. The exhibition is sponsored in part by the Gobioff Foundation, and the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and made possible by the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation’s generous gift to the USF Art Collection.īosco Sodi : Básico brings together Bosco Sodi’s various sources of artistic inspiration as examples of sustainable art making. The Lyrical Moment is curated by Christian Viveros-Fauné, CAM Curator-at-Large organized by the USF Contemporary Art Museum. Part of the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation initiative to support university museums in their educational programming, the exhibition brings together the work of two important women artists from two different generations. Taking as a starting point a substantial award by the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation to USFCAM, the museum has organized an exhibition that features elegant, hand-processed paintings and prints by pioneering artist Helen Frankenthaler and digitally-informed, pop-inflected canvases and works on paper by contemporary Los Angeles painter Heather Gwen Martin.
