Tarik Talk

n this episode, I’m sitting down with multidisciplinary artist @adrienlucca inside his studio in Brussels. Adrien’s work lives at the intersection of color, perception, architecture, and light, exploring how we experience space, materials, and the unseen forces around us.We talk about his creative process, his relationship with color as both a physical and emotional experience, and how science, research, and intuition all play a role in shaping his practice. Being surrounded by his work while having this conversation made the experience even more immersive and inspiring.A thoughtful and visually driven conversation with an artist who constantly challenges how we see and feel the world around us.

Supermrin is a sculptor and installation artist whose work merges foraged trees with a self-developed grass-based bioplastic to explore the capitalist and colonial systems embedded in landscapes, particularly the global lawn. Her ongoing project, FIELD, intertwines biophilosophy, decolonial theory, and material science, and was featured in Towards Another Architecture: New Visions for the 21st Century (Lund Humphries, 2024). She has exhibited internationally across venues such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland, Contemporary Arts Center Cincinnati, Untitled Art Fair Miami, and the Italian Virtual Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale.

In this episode of Tarik Talk, Tarik speaks with Belgian artist Adrien Lucca, born in Paris and now living and working in Brussels, in his Brussels studio about a practice that sits at the intersection of art, science, light, and color. Adrien explores how non-human beings, particularly the elephant hawk moth, perceive the world, using LEDs, pigments, and coding to translate invisible color spectra into immersive visual experiences for human viewers. He shares his journey from studying art and music to creating large-scale public installations, including a pivotal breakthrough project in 2015 that helped define the direction of his work. The conversation also looks ahead to his upcoming long-term installation at Botanique Brussels, where the building’s lobby will be transformed through programmable, color-shifting light. At the core of Adrien’s practice is a critique of human-centered vision and a deeper reflection on how artificial light impacts insects, plants, and entire ecosystems. Through his work, he invites us to consider the worlds that exist beyond human perception and how art can make the invisible visible.
