Carré d’Art-Musée d ‘art contemporain de Nîmes, Nîmes, France
April 30–October 5, 2025
Lucas Arruda: Deserto-Modelo is the first major solo exhibition in France to span the artist’s career. The exhibition includes works from different periods, including some produced specifically for the occasion. Known primarily for his paintings, Lucas Arruda also produces films and installations.
Arruda’s 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.
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.
