São Paulo-based artist Lucas Simões draws on his training as an architect to inform his sculptural practice. Deeply grounded in historical research and literary references, and visual culture, Simões fluidly combes material and design lineages of modern architecture with Concrete and Neo-Concrete art historical lineages into forms that pour out of the brutalist confines of modernism into a bodily, even sensorial field.
