[EN]

With a dim light in his forest and ocean landscapes, Lucas Arruda presents his small-format paintings with an impulse that diffuses his elements towards the edges. His generous layers of paint - sometimes scratched or brushed with the bristles of his brushes - often present suggestive aspects of his landscapes. In a subtle way, his clouds, horizons, sands and seas are interpellative, in a way that the movement and direction of the brushstrokes do not indicate where a given plan may begin or end.

In contrast to the noisy, urban landscapes he lives in, Arruda's landscapes evoke a free and non-human space. Generally with soft tones, the artist juxtaposes his colors with a clarity that emanates from the canvas. With an atmospheric painting that bears similarities to the work of great romantic painters such as William Turner at the turning point from the 18th to the 19th century, Arruda manages to work with the limits of perspective, bringing the viewer to an intimate and silent place.


[PT]

Com uma luz escusa nas suas paisagens de floresta e oceânicas, Lucas Arruda apresenta suas pinturas de pequeno formato com um impulso que difunde seus elementos em direção às bordas. Comumente suas generosas camadas de tintas – por vezes arranhadas ou escovadas com as cerdas dos seus pincéis – apresentam aspectos sugestivos de suas paisagens. De forma sutil, suas nuvens, horizontes, areias e mares figuram de interpelativa, de maneira que o movimento e a direção das pinceladas no indicam onde que pode começar ou terminar determinado plano.

Contrastando com a paisagens ruidosas e urbanas que vive, as paisagens de Arruda evocam um espaço livre e não-humano. Geralmente com tons suaves, o artista justapõe suas cores com uma claridade que emana na tela. Com uma pintura atmosférica que traz semelhanças à obra de grandes pintores românticos como William Turner na virada do século 18 ao 19, Arruda consegue trabalhar com os lugares limites da perspectiva, trazendo o espectador à um lugar intimista e silencioso.
