Áron Lődi (b.1996) is a Hungarian visual artist based in The Hague. He documents contemporary horror stories of imperialism, ideological flatlining and polarization, and the accelerating decline of late capitalism. His works merge the aesthetic traits of post-Soviet countries, the far-from-humane design of heavy industry, and gothic fiction to create counter-narratives and future visions.
Lődi graduated from the Dirty Art Department at Sandberg Instituut, Amsterdam. He is a founding member of the Budapest-based ‘U&K Magazine’ publishing project and part of the artist duo ‘ALAGYA’. In 2022, he initiated a para-academic program titled ‘Contaminating The Soil That Nurtures Greed’ focusing on Europe’s east-west ideological divide through the lens of cultural strategies. In 2024, he co-organised the MetaforumX: Permacrises conference at Trafo Gallery, Budapest. His works were shown at Jedna Dva Tri Gallery, Prague (CZ), A Promise of Kneropy, Bratislava (SK), Vunu Gallery, Kosice (SK), Ultrastudio Gallery, Pescara (IT) and Light Art Museum, Budapest (HU), Semester9, Amsterdam (NL), and 1111 Gallery, Budapest (HU). In 2023, he was a fellow at Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stuttgart (DE).
