B. 1996, - Pretoria, South Africa
Lerato Lodi was born in 1996, in Ga-Rankuwa, Pretoria, South Africa. Lodi is currently study- ing towards an M-Tech Fine Arts Degree at the Tshwane University of Technology in her hometown.
Lodi’s artistic practice explores themes centred around her spirituality. She uses acrylic paint on canvas as well as beads and cloth to interrogate ideas and ideals of African spirituality and Christianity as it manifests in her own life and the lives of those she encounters. Lodi exam- ines the different ways in which people worship and pray as she explores shrines, temples and materials brought into those sites as offerings.
Lodi has participated in the following group exhibitions: Initiative: Blessing Ngobeni Studio Art Award at Room Gallery; Genesis X’Ibition at Pretoria Art Museum (2018); Emergence: A group exhibition at mm-Arthouse Gallery; Blessing Ngobeni Art Prize Group Exhibition at Aspire Art Auctions; The Aesthetics of time: in space of time at Polokwane Art Museum and Genesis Group Exhibition at Bkhz Gallery (2019) to name a few.
