Henrique Oliveira

Description:

First institutional exhibition of Henrique Oliveira (b. Sao Paulo, Brazil 1973) in Rio de Janeiro, presenting a selection of acrylic paintings and installations made with pigmented burnt playwood (wood salvaged from the streets or from construction sites), allowing the vegetal and the organic to create what curator Klabin call "unexpected scars" that reminds the spectator of the past. "His installations may interfere with the urban space or be placed within an architectural environment, creating monumental disruptions and eruptions which seem to come from inside the walls." --Page 35.
