ARTIST STATEMENT

In my artworks I like exploring colored reflections of light and shadow. As inspiration I always use a life situation or a personal story that I abstract to the extremes and visualize them with basic geometrical forms. That is the way how I process the events of my life, how I release myself from the tensions, how I remind myself of the happy moments. Every artwork is a page of a diary.

In the past few years a sort of settling can be experienced in my works. My new series of art contain shaped canvases, laser-cutted wood panels therefore they construct a path between two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. In the future I plan to go on and investigate the perforated surfaces and its shadows and the meeting-points and contingency of painting and extensity.

BIOGRAPHY

In 2004 she started as a landscape architect and began her career within this field but she soon found out that the artistic relations of landscape architecture would not satisfy her needs. Between 2004 and 2007 she attended Budai Artschool where her master was the painter Marcel Kelemen. She also completed a marketing design course during this period and later between 2005 and 2007 she finished a Colour Dynamics and Engineer training at Budapest University of Technology and Economics. This last one is exceptionally important in her life because her master-teacher: Tamas Konok had been her mentor and helper on her professional way. The Colour Dynamics course concentrated firstly on the theory of colours and the colour design but secondly it gave a wider knowledge to Judit Horváth Lóczi she recognized the total art (Gesammtkunstwerk), and how the fine art and applied art cooperate.

From 2010 to 2011 she studied art management, exhibition organizing and other trades of being a curator at Werk Academy. From 2011 to 2014 she attended and successfully completed a Visual Representation Artist (Graphic Artist) course at Budapest Metropolitan University. Since then she became an associated member of the Society of Hungarian Painters, Hungarian Artist’s Book Association and the Association of Hungarian Artists.

Several artists have had influence on her professional career, e.g.: Tamas Konok, Janos Megyik, Imi Knoebel, Istvan Haasz or Louise Nevelson.

She actively applies for local and foreign prizes, awards and competitions (through this she exhibited in Venice, Milano and in London as well). From 2008 she continuously takes part in group and solo exhibitions and visits Art Camps. Her paintings were awarded by Barcsay Prize in 2015. This prize is given annually to Hungarian painters under the age of 35.

In 2017 she got qualified at the Budapest Art Mentor program, and in 2018 she is one of the 10 winners of the Hungary Emerging art contest. With the first she could take part in a professional career-building-program which helped a lot to clarify her aims and the potential ways for it while the second one is a big chance for Horváth Lóczi to show her works in the US.

In the past few years a sort of settling can be experienced in her works. Her new series of art contain shaped canvases, laser-cutted wood panels therefore they construct a path between two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. In the future she plans to go on and investigate the perforated surfaces and its shadows and the meeting-points and contingency of painting and extensity.
