Lucas Goubert's artistic journey, rooted in Bogotá, Colombia, began in 1995 with a single illustration inspired by Gabriela Mistral's poem Último Árbol. After a challenging banking career led to burnout in early 2024, Goubert redirected his focus entirely to art, now finding refuge and purpose in his studio in Paris. His diverse practice encompasses collage, painting, drawing, and more recently, performance and installation. Goubert's art captivates viewers with its visceral and impassioned exploration of human experience, particularly the complexities of vice and virtue as characters navigate the edge of chaos. His aesthetic embraces a raw, unconventional beauty, valuing chaotic harmony over traditional ideals. Goubert's talent has been showcased in notable exhibitions across Paris, New York, Naples, and his native Bogotá. This exhibition presents a captivating series of three sculptural collages, each inspired by his Tarot card creations from 2024 and 2025. The central figures in these works appear suspended, or "levitating," through the delicate manipulation of cotton threads, juxtaposed with the striking inclusion of nails, wire, and matches, creating a unique and evocative visual narrative.
