Notes
Lucas Dupuy’s work sits between architecture and abstraction, often resembling fragmented building facades, grids, or structural plans that dissolve into softer, atmospheric fields. His compositions typically begin with rigid frameworks before breaking down into blurred lines, elongated marks, and layered surfaces that feel in motion.
Across his paintings, thin linear elements and hazy gradients interact, creating a tension between precision and distortion. Forms often appear to flicker or shift, as if moving through space, with marks that echo unreadable text or diagrammatic symbols. This reflects his interest in language as shape rather than meaning, influenced by his experience with dyslexia.
The work draws heavily from urban environments and Brutalist architecture, but avoids literal representation. Instead, structures are stretched, cropped, and fragmented, producing compositions that feel both constructed and unstable, balancing order with erosion.
