Stephanie Lucchese
b 1991 São Paulo, Brazil, lives and works in Brooklyn, New York
Stephanie Lucchese's approach focuses on volume, structure, and depth to create arrangements beyond traditional frameworks. Her images incorporate hedonistic themes inspired by gothic and decadent literature of the late 19th-century with sensual scenes of leisure, sexual expression, and macabre undertones. Drawing from the subconscious, Lucchese’s work resists fixed interpretations, presenting figures and spaces that shift between indulgence and decay. Solo exhibitions include Nuns fret not, ABRI MARS, New York (2026); Play, Yehudi Hollander-Pappi, São Paulo, Brazil (2025); Petisco, Projeto Vênus, São Paulo, Brazil (2023). Lucchese participated in group exhibitions internationally, including Supernova 1572, Yehudi Hollander-Pappi, São Paulo, Brazil (2025); Na Ponta da Língua, Espaço Alto, São Paulo, Brazil (2025); A Sense of Place, ABRI MARS, New York (2025); Pathways, Mama Projects, New York (2024); Soft Machine, IRL, New York (2021); GIFC NYC, The Hole, New York (2019), among others. Residencies include Cité internationale des arts, Paris, France (2026) and SVA Summer Residency, School of Visual Arts, New York (2019).
