 Aaron Kudi is a contemporary painter, born in Bauchi, Nigeria, he lives and works in London. He grew up between Nigeria and London and Devon in the UK. He has a BSc in Psychology from London Metropolitan University, an MSc in Psychology from University College London and worked as a sculptor before becoming a painter. Aaron has undertaken residencies at Thread, Josef & Anni Albers Foundation, Senegal, 2024 and the British School at Rome, 2025. He is currently studying in the second year of an MFA at the Slade School of Fine Art, London. Aaron’s practice explores aspects of human experience and consciousness in relation to our contemporary world. His paintings are abstract with echoes of figuration. Combining gesture, colour and surface, Aaron explores the materiality of paint to evoke sensations of the immaterial, with both a sense of intimacy and unease. He says ‘I’ve come to think of painting as a kind of tending a slow, sometimes painful cultivation of what must grow and what must go. My own garden has been seeded by many things: the faith and science that lived side by side in my childhood home, the Nigerian Pentecostal rhythm of prayer and praise, the analytical precision of my father’s scientific mind, and the layered questions of belonging that come with moving between cultures. These early contradictions planted a fascination with dualities: control and surrender, knowing and feeling, faith and doubt. My painting practice, at its core, lives in the space between those states, between what I intend and what I could never fully control.’
