About

László Osoha

Hungarian, 1895—1946


László Osoha is a Hungarian photographer known for his striking depictions of industrial and urban decay, often infused with a surrealist sensibility. His work bridges the documentary and the imaginative, transforming abandoned factories, crumbling structures, and forgotten urban spaces into dreamlike landscapes that challenge perceptions of reality. Drawing inspiration from the surrealist movement, Osoha employs stark contrasts, unexpected juxtapositions, and an evocative play of light and shadow to create images that feel both grounded and otherworldly.

Osoha’s approach is deeply rooted in meticulous observation and an appreciation for detail. His compositions, marked by strong geometry and dramatic contrasts, invite viewers to reflect on themes of transformation, obsolescence, and resilience. His body of work serves not only as an artistic exploration but also as an important archive of industrial heritage, preserving the memory of spaces that might otherwise be lost to history.
