Art Corner Opens Ninth Budapest Exhibition With Judit Horváth Lóczi

Art Corner by Clark and Leo opened its ninth exhibition, Art Is Therapy, at Hotel Clark Budapest and Leo Bistro on 22 April. The budapest showing featured works by Judit Horváth Lóczi and extended a format that places contemporary art inside a hospitality setting rather than only in a traditional gallery.

The exhibition centered on art as a means of structure, engagement and mental equilibrium. It was built on material first shown in Berlin in 2020, then expanded in Budapest with new works that gave the presentation a current shape rather than a retrospective frame.

Horváth Lóczi’s paintings and small-scale sculptural works drew on personal experience, emotional memory and the varied dimensions of female identity. Her visual language relied on geometric structures and a vivid palette, and the work connected back to 2014, when she encountered Anna Freud’s theory of defence mechanisms while working on her diploma project.

That reference gives the exhibition a clear internal logic. The Budapest presentation did not simply repeat the Berlin material from 2020; it added new works, shifting the emphasis from a past body of material to an ongoing inquiry.

The opening took place as a private vernissage attended by prominent figures from the Hungarian art scene. Zoltán Grecsó performed at the event, accompanied by cellist Endre Kertész, while Leo Bistro presented a multi-course menu created specifically for the occasion.

The evening also included the Elegantly Wasted sparkling wine from Sauska and a small selection of bespoke cocktails. For visitors, the practical takeaway is direct: the exhibition is not confined to a conventional white-cube space, and the Budapest installation adds fresh works to the material first presented in Berlin in 2020.
