2024 Lucas Lamenha from TING TING ART SPACE 丁丁藝術空間

盧卡斯（Lucas Lamenha）1979年出生於巴西，畢業於廣告學系，他成為創作這已超過15年的時間。在他的創作生涯中他多次獲得了國內外的重要獎項，分別是五座Gramado World Award（2003及2005年）、 同時入圍倫敦國際藝術節（2003年）的兩個獎項，而倫敦國際藝術節也是最受尊敬的國際藝術節。正因為他擁有15年的廣告製作人經驗，使他發現自己的藝術天賦。

盧卡斯擅長使用的圖形元素不只是反應了現代社會混亂的訊息。同時，也講述了一則精彩的故事，他的作品以講故事為主要元素，接連講述了一系列的故事，反覆的吸引並且勾起觀眾們的興趣以及慾望。他以主題及轉化兩種特性將自己的記憶以噴霧、壓克力及馬克筆轉化爲他所創造的有趣、原始和豐富多變的故事。

Graduated in advertising, Lucas Lamenha has been working as a creative for over 15 years. He has received significant national and international awards throughout his career, such as 5 trophies in the Gramado World Award (2003 and 2005) and 2 Short Lists in the London International Festival (2003), one of the most revered festivals in the world. It was his experience as Creative Director in advertising that led Lucas Lamenha to explore and discover himself as an artist.

Lucas uses graphic elements and characters that not only reflect the modern world’s chaotic surplus of information, but also work together to convey a larger story. He draws the viewer in repeatedly and provokes the public by using storytelling as a key element in his thematic, transformative way of converting memories into stories told with spray, acrylic and marker - Stories about a ludic, original and colorful universe of his own making.

The uniqueness of his strokes and his outstanding style imprint generalities, such as numbers, music, dilemmas, idiosyncrasies, love and peace, that translate some of Lucas’ essence, past and present into paper, canvas and objects. By doing so, Lucas is taking the sub-genre of "doodle art" into previously uncharted territory.
