Lucas Arruda: Deserto-Modelo by Lucas Arruda (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Lucas Arruda: Deserto-Modelo by Lucas Arruda, Will Chancellor, Barry Schwabsky The first comprehensive monograph on the work of Brazilian painter Lucas Arruda elucidates the artists intricate, meditative compositions.Arruda has gained critical acclaim for atmospheric paintings that fluctuate between abstraction and figuration, imagination and reality. This monograph presents three groups of works loosely characterized as seascapes, jungles, and monochromes. Collectively titled Deserto-Modelo, they have an ephemeral, transient quality.Arrudas intimately sized paintings of seascapes and junglescapes are characterized by their subtle rendition of light. Painted from memory, they are devoid of specific reference points, instead achieving their variety through the depiction of atmospheric conditions. Verging on abstraction, the compositions are grounded by an ever-present, if sometimes faint, horizon line that offers a perception of distance. They appear at once familiar and imaginary. Through his often evocative and textured brushstrokes, Arruda foregrounds the materiality and physicality of paint, while also recalling his genres historical associations with the notion of the romantic sublime.Alongside meticulous color plates and powerful details, author Will Chancellor offers a close reading of the work, raising questions about artifice, thresholds, and perception. Critic Barry Schwabsky unpacks the challenges posed by Arrudas mysterious painted surfaces. As a whole, this book provides a detailed introduction to the work of a uniquely thoughtful and inventive artist. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Lucas Arrudas (b. 1983) paintings revolve around a play of light and color and 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. As he has noted, "The only reason to call my works landscapes is cultural-its simply that viewers automatically register my format as a landscape, although none of the images can be traced to a geographic location. Its the idea of landscape as a structure, rather than a real place."Will Chancellor is the author of the novel A Brave Man Seven Storeys Tall (2014) and is currently writing an alternate history of the Soviet space program titled The Meaning of Certain Dreams. His writing has appeared in Bookforum, Lit Hub, The New York Times Magazine, Interview, The White Review, Bomb, The New York Times, and The Brooklyn Rail. He recently introduced César Airas On Contemporary Art (2018) for David Zwirner Bookss ekphrasis series.Barry Schwabsky is an art critic for The Nation and coeditor of international reviews for Artforum.
