Lucas Arruda Exhibition - A Journey Through Light and Abstraction at the Musée d'Orsay

A Poetic and Abstract Art: Lucas Arruda’s Vision

Lucas Arruda’s work stands out for its unique approach to landscapes. Instead of painting from nature, the artist recreates landscapes from his memory and internal perceptions. These "desert models" are representations of imaginary places, abstract spaces that are born in the artist’s studio, far from the constraints of the real world. This mnemonic creation process is close to abstraction while maintaining a deep connection to light, emotion, and sensation.

Through his small canvases, often of modest dimensions, Arruda captures the intensity and light, essential elements in his work. For the artist, light is the thread that guides his creations. It is not merely a visual effect but a true form of movement and presence. Each brushstroke becomes an imprint of this light that guides his work and constructs spaces that are both intense and open. These paintings seem to hover between pure abstraction and suggested figuration, creating tension and depth that attract and captivate the viewer.

The exhibition at the Musée d'Orsay is a rare opportunity to discover Lucas Arruda’s art in a prestigious setting, in dialogue with the great masters of Impressionism, notably Claude Monet. This original connection explores the use of light and how each artist, in their own way, captures this essential essence in their work. This fusion of artistic horizons, both old and contemporary, offers a fascinating perspective on the evolution of painting.
