In his noisy battle with nature, Lucas Länder constructs deconstructed, fragmented, misted, and elusive landscapes. The deconstruction of the imagetic and the tangible is present throughout his entire process: drawing with graphite, painting with India ink, sketching with washes, and finishing with paraffin — by combining such techniques, Lucas creates a fragmented, suspended universe, like a puzzle filled with endless possibilities of completion.
Lucas’s world has no pre-imagined rules: it is a free repertoire, full of paths and combinations. He creates internal and external landscapes, filled with gesture, intention, and a certain voracious drive. In both doubt and determination, the artist embraces unplanned improvisation — a guiding uncertainty. In doing so, he becomes a vehicle
for a poetic that is incisive and questioning, multifaceted, and full of possibilities. Yet, within these expansive directions lies a paradoxically sharp trace — one that hesitates in appearance, but not in intent. It is precise, yet vague; fluid.
This imagined world from another time connects us immediately to everything unspoken, unthought. It stirs silent, camouflaged inner volcanoes.
Elegant in proposition, his works may, at times, appear seductively polished — but they are not about that. They carry within them the volcanic acid that overturns and transforms everything, irreversibly — a process eternalized through paraffin.
This impatient, monochromatic lava inscribes itself upon the landscape, the earth, the paper, and every surface it touches — forming a language initially connected to writing as we know it, only
to then strike other layers of meaning, speaking deeply, communicating with a precision beyond our awareness. It touches the possibilities we hadn’t imagined — unknown even to ourselves, and to nature.

An analysis of floating inscriptions in memory, emerging as structural elements within compositional frameworks.
Impermanence, the transformation of surrounding territories, and the inevitable interferences between one process and another reveal a continuous dynamic.
In this context, the landscape is understood as an agential territory — an active space in constant negotiation of meaning.

Landscapes
2015
This work emerges from the relationships between the individual, the territory, and immaterial memory.
The proposal seeks to sensitize space and open a field of perception and reflection on the volatile nature of landscapes — landscapes in constant transformation through political and cultural forces, as well as the spontaneous actions of those who inhabit and reinvent them.
The landscapes are presented as visual metaphors for mountainous regions: formations constructed from rock drawings that transform into organic lines, acquiring the quality of gestural writing. Observational drawing dissolves into fluid traces that intertwine with memory and abstraction, revealing geopolitical transpositions that cross the affective cartographies of the subject.
