Description

Lucas Arruda: Deserto-Modelo is the first comprehensive monograph on the work of Brazilian painter Lucas Arruda. The book presents a detailed introduction to Arruda's intricate, meditative compositions, which fluctuate between abstraction and figuration, imagination and reality.

Arruda's paintings, collectively titled Deserto-Modelo, are characterized by their subtle rendition of light and ephemeral, transient quality. Painted from memory, they are devoid of specific reference points, achieving instead their variety through the depiction of atmospheric conditions. The compositions are grounded by an ever-present, if sometimes faint, horizon line that offers a perception of distance.

The book features meticulous color plates and powerful details, accompanied by close readings of the work by author Will Chancellor and critic Barry Schwabsky. This publication offers a unique insight into the work of a thoughtfully inventive artist, whose paintings foreground the materiality and physicality of paint.
