The first comprehensive monograph on the work of Brazilian painter Lucas Arruda elucidates the artist’s 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.Arruda’s 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 Arruda’s mysterious painted surfaces. As a whole, this book provides a detailed introduction to the work of a uniquely thoughtful and inventive artist.

Celebrating Lucas Arruda’s landmark exhibition at the Musée d’Orsay, this captivating catalogue showcases his luminous landscapes in the compelling context of the museum’s collection.Brazilian painter Lucas Arruda creates landscapes that hover between the real and the imagined. For more than fifteen years, his ongoing Deserto-Modelo series of intimate, small-format paintings has explored light as a central, shaping force. “It is light that guides my painting,” Arruda explains, “creating intensity and giving rise to spaces that are neither abstract nor figurative.” While his focus on atmosphere and perception recalls impressionist painters, Arruda does not work from plein air studies or photographs. Instead, his images emerge from memory and imagination—interior visions that feel both timeless and deeply personal.This publication accompanies Lucas Arruda: Qu’importe le paysage, the artist’s first major solo exhibition in France, which was held at the Musée d’Orsay in 2025. For the exhibition, Arruda selected works by nineteenth-century masters such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Alfred Sisley to appear alongside his own, opening a dialogue across centuries. An essay by the curator Nicolas Gausserand illuminates these connections, tracing the affinities between Arruda’s contemporary practice and the Impressionist legacy.
