Lucchese expresses an in-between space within time, where the light of day dissolves into pale blue hues, and everything is swallowed by shadows, clouding the vision and causing a strange sense of longing for everything that is not there.

In Stephanie Lucchese’s paintings, recurring motifs evoke a quiet mystery, where concept remains beyond full comprehension. Drawn to specific shapes and objects, Lucchese transforms form into curiosity, allowing meaning to emerge rather than defining it.

“If anyone finds your simultaneity beyond his understanding, it is not for me to explain it. Let him be content to say, ‘What is this?’... So too let him rejoice and delight in finding you who are beyond discovery rather than fail to find you by supposing you to be discoverable.”

–Saint Augustine, “Confessions,” Book I, Chapter 6, Section 10 (c 397–400 AD)

For the first time, artist Stephanie Lucchese is presenting her original graphite studies. Working entirely without photographic source material, these drawings represent the core of her visual language and working process, and are the sole reference points for her oil paintings.

A selection of the works on paper from Lucchese’s personal archive will be on view and offered exclusively this weekend at the ABRI MARS booth during the U-Haul Art Fair.

This installation is complemented by Lucchese’s solo show, “Nuns fret not,” which will be on view at ABRI MARS (53a Stanton Street, New York).

U-Haul Art Fair 2026 | ABRI MARS Booth
West 22nd Street (btwn 10th & 11th Avenue) New York

For our inaugural U-Haul Art Fair presentation, ABRI MARS presents “Private Practice,” a reconstruction of artist Stephanie Lucchese’s to-scale studio space totaling 10ft × 5ft.

This installation faithfully transposes Lucchese’s side-room studio within her Brooklyn apartment into the art fair booth. By recreating the exact, restrictive dimensions of her live-work apartment studio, the exhibition exposes the physical compromises required to produce large-scale paintings while living and working in NYC. The booth invites viewers to experience the narrow margins where Lucchese navigates her canvas, materials, modest furniture, and life, exposing the rarely witnessed invisible labor in a New York-based artist’s daily experience.

This installation is complemented by Lucchese’s solo show, “Nuns fret not,” which will be on view at ABRI MARS (53a Stanton Street, New York).

Join us this evening from 6pm–8pm for the opening of Stephanie Lucchese’s debut New York solo exhibition, “Nuns fret not.”

Friday, Sept 18 | 6pm - 8pm
ABRI MARS | 53a Stanton Street New York

Work pictured:
“It’s perfectly normal for insects to be slightly telepathic,” 2026
Oil on linen
24×18in / 61×45.7cm

Nuns fret not at their convent’s narrow room;
And hermits are contented with their cells;
And students with their pensive citadels;
Maids at the wheel, the weaver at his loom,
Sit blithe and happy; bees that soar for bloom,
High as the highest Peak of Furness-fells,
Will murmur by the hour in foxglove bells:
In truth the prison, into which we doom
Ourselves, no prison is: and hence for me,
In sundry moods, ’twas pastime to be bound
Within the Sonnet’s scanty plot of ground;
Pleased if some Souls (for such there needs must be)
Who have felt the weight of too much liberty,
Should find brief solace there, as I have found.

—William Wordsworth, “Nuns Fret Not at Their Convent’s Narrow Room” (1807)

ABRI MARS is honored to announce “Nuns fret not,” Stephanie Lucchese’s debut New York solo exhibition. Incorporating hedonistic themes inspired by late 19th-century gothic and decadent literature, Lucchese’s paintings depict sensual scenes of leisure, sexual expression, and macabre undertones. Drawing from the subconscious, her works resist fixed interpretations, presenting figures and spaces that shift between indulgence and decay.

Netuno é o primeiro livro que tenho a oportunidade de publicar. O nome faz alusão ao último planeta do sistema solar, também associado ao sonho e à imaginação. É um romance em que elementos semibiográficos servem como ponto de partida para especulações sobre uma variedade de assuntos: os horários intermediários, os vínculos familiares, o surgimento da vida, a gravidade, o desejo, a atenção e a preguiça. Em virtude deste aspecto mais "ensaístico", em muitos de seus momentos ele nem se parece tanto assim com um romance.

Levei 4 ou 5 anos para escrevê-lo, e tive a oportunidade de concluí-lo enquanto estava em Puna, na Índia, em 2024. Sempre escrevi de tudo quanto é tipo de coisa, mas fico feliz que esta seja a minha primeira publicação física, tanto assim porque ela destoa de tudo que escrevi até hoje, e até as influências aqui são mais filosóficas do que literárias. Até hoje, quando o releio, percebo algumas correspondências e conexões que não me eram tão claras assim enquanto eu o escrevia. Talvez isso sirva para justificar sua existência, como uma mensagem na garrafa, mais um livro em meio a outros tantos que já existem no mundo, mas que, ainda assim, guardam consigo algumas possibilidades inéditas até mesmo para quem o escreveu.

Essa ilustração linda quem fez foi a @stephanielucchese, e acho que expressa muito bem a atmosfera mental nebulosa de onde a sua escrita emergiu.

E foi agora publicado pela querida editora @laranjaoriginal, com edição do @fi_moreau e da Bruna Lima, e um belo projeto gráfico assinado pelo @pedrobotton , de modos que vocês já podem adquiri-lo tanto no site da editora quanto pela Amazon.

O lançamento está marcado para 5 de março em São Paulo. Mas haverá divulgação.

Espero que gostem.
