This is a prestigious monograph on one of the most important and well-known painters working in Brazil today.The paintings of Lucas Arruda (b. 1983) are intricate, meditative compositions that blur the boundaries between mnemonic and imaginative registers. His evocative landscapes are more a product of a state of mind than depictions of particular locales.Born in São Paulo, Brazil, Arruda received his BFA from Faculdade Santa Marcelina, São Paulo, in 2009. A solo exhibition of the artist’s work, Lugar sem Lugar, was on display at Fundação Iberê Camargo, Porto Alegre, Brazil, in 2021, and traveled to Instituto Tomie Ohtake, São Paulo, Brazil, in 2022. The artist’s first large-scale institutional solo show, Deserto-Modelo, was exhibited at the Fridericianum, Kassel, Germany, in 2019.His works have been acquired by the most important collections and museums in the world, such as Fondation Beyeler in Basel; Pinault Collection and Centre Pompidou in Paris; Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Madrid; Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam; Rubell Museum in Miami; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York; and Tate Modern in London, among others.
