Exhibitions

Event organised as part of the Brazilian Season in France 2025

The Lucas Arruda exhibition is the first major monographic show in France to feature works from different periods, including some produced specifically for the occasion. Known primarily for his paintings, Lucas Arruda also produces films and installations. The exhibition, which will occupy the entire floor of the temporary spaces, will showcase the different aspects of his practice.

His research develops fundamentally around landscape, thought and the experimentation of our capacity to live through the mediation of light and the gaze.

His landscapes exist at the point of tension between abstraction and figuration, between appearance and emptiness. With each glance, experiences are delimited in a process of construction and reconstruction of memory, as if the formulation of color fields touched the immaterial body of temporal landscapes and lived sensations.

Born in Brazil in 1983, Lucas Arruda lives in Sao Paulo. His work has recently been shown in group exhibitions and is represented in the collections of The Art Institute of Chicago; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Fondation Beyeler, Basel; Museu de arte de Sao Paulo; Pinault Collection, Paris and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York.

This exhibition is part of the Carré d’Art program, which aims to present monographs by established artists such as Walid Raad, Wolfgang Tillmans and Nairy Baghramian, as well as younger artists such as Tarik Kiswanson and Latoya Ruby Frazier.
