Untitled (from the Deserto-Modelo series), 2018 limited edition print by Lucas Arruda

Fabulous print by the extremely interesting Brazilian artist, Lucas Arruda. Arruda is being shown in some very influential places right now. At first glance we would say this was an evocative landscape; he says it's about a state of mind. As the artist notes, "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."
