Introduction

+ Personal Information

LUCAS LÄNDER

Lucas Länder is a Brazilian visual artist based
in Miami. His practice explores the relationship between body, territory, and memory through drawing, painting, video, and installation. Working since 2009 with research in visual poetics, he creates fragmented and poetic landscapes that reflect on the disappearance of matter and the instability of form.

He holds a degree in Visual Arts from the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU) and a postgraduate degree in Graphic Design from FAAP. In 2011,
he was a researcher in the groups Poéticas da Multiplicidade (ECA-USP) and Núcleo de Estudos da Subjetividade, coordinated by Suely Rolnik (PUC-SP). He received 1st Prize at the 27th Visual Arts Salon in Embu das Artes (2010) for the video installation Ghosts in the Street and Soul, and in 2015 was awarded 1st Prize at the 47th FAAP Annual Art Exhibition with the work Descriptive Landscapes. He was also featured by Fundação Iberê Camargo in the digital publication Revista Lugares (2012/2013).

His recent work draws on Enlightenment-
era anatomical illustrations to question how knowledge and nature are represented, proposing — through gesture, fragmentation, and material — new ways of perceiving what is fading. His drawing practice investigates perception as an open field, where the body is not a defined object, but a living process in permanent transformation.
