Table of ContentsReviewsFor Arruda, his landscape paintings are like portals that crack open white walls to uncharted territories that defy familiarity. --Osman Can Yerebakan Observer His landscapes of tangled jungles or seascapes are plucked from his mind's eye. --Osman Can Yerebakan Observer Recalling the Romantic notion of the sublime, the striking landscapes and seascapes, often marked only by a faint horizon line, seem to radiate an intense, transcendent light from within. --Lucy Rees Galerie Untitled (from the Deserto-Modelo series), 2018, from the David Zwirner New York show listed as one of the most beautiful artworks of 2019. --Osman Can Yerebakan Beaux Arts Author Information"Lucas Arruda's (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-it's simply that viewers automatically register my format as a landscape, although none of the images can be traced to a geographic location. It's 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 Aira's On Contemporary Art (2018) for David Zwirner Books's ekphrasis series. Barry Schwabsky is an art critic for The Nation and coeditor of international reviews for Artforum. He has published several books of criticism, of which the most recent are The Observer Effect: On Contemporary Painting (2019), Landscape Painting Now: From Pop Abstraction to New Romanticism (2019), and The Perpetual Guest: Art in the Unfinished Present (2016), as well as of poetry. He has taught at Goldsmiths College, Yale University, and the Maryland Institute College of Art, among others, and lives in New York." Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
