Lucas is a self taught artist from Limpopo in his 50’s and doesn’t seem to be slowing down. He has developed his very unique linocut style over the past 30 years.
His patterns are prominent and soothing, and his subject matter reflects his own observations in his surroundings. They have a playful, honest immediateness about them.
Although he lives very isolated in the rural parts of Limpopo, he has traveled to Mexico and Switzerland for his exhibitions, and is currently working on a book illustrating commission with his linocuts.

Born and bred in Brooklyn, there are sources of inspiration constantly at my fingertips. Part of my method is using the city as a sound board for developing ideas to the final phase of production. It is important as an artist that I am involved in every step of the process. From the inception of the idea, the sourcing of materials, execution, and the final product.
