# Tactile Texturized Paintings Bosco Sodi uses Sawdust and Wood Pulp to Create 3D Paintings By Tia Clarke | Published 2013-03-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bosco-sodi References: [boscosodi](http://www.boscosodi.com/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/bosco.sodi) 'Sawdust and Pigment Paintings' is a visually stunning new exhibition by self-taught Mexican artist Bosco Sadi. The artist's latest works have been created using a mixture of sawdust, color pigments, pulped wood, water and glue to create these three-dimensional, vivid paintings. The colors explored in these paintings come alive before the viewer, from cobalt blues to fiery reds and cracked grays. The result of this unusual approach are giant works with vivacious coloring that you just want to reach out and touch. Through this practice, the artist explores depths of field and color that you simply don't get with most modern art. Sodi says his art is influenced by the 'Art Brut' movement. His works are also equally influenced and informed by science, perhaps due to his chemical engineer father. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Three-dimensional Paintings:** Exploring the art form of three-dimensional paintings using materials like sawdust and wood pulp presents opportunities for innovative art experiences. - **Vivid Coloring:** The use of pigments and unconventional materials in paintings creates vibrant colors that disrupt traditional art techniques and offer new possibilities for artistic expression. - **Multisensory Art:** Combining textures and visual elements in art opens up avenues for immersive, multisensory experiences that challenge the traditional boundaries of visual art. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can explore and adopt the use of unconventional materials and techniques to create unique and engaging art forms. - **Chemical/pigment Manufacturing:** Chemical and pigment manufacturing industries can innovate and develop new materials and pigments specifically tailored for three-dimensional and tactile art forms. - **Museum and Exhibition:** Museums and exhibition spaces can incorporate multisensory experiences and display three-dimensional paintings to enhance visitor engagement and offer new perspectives on art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Oil Painting-Inspired Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antonio-santn.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Geometric Wooden Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aleph-geddis.md) - [Leftover Househouse Paint Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-drop.md) - [Glass Beaded Intricate Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition.md) - [Structured Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowchart.md) - [Colorful Texture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation.md) - [Textured Cast Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-scad.md) - [Handmade Lamp Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/see-earth.md)
