earlier this month we featured the work of brazilian artist henrique oliveira who is currently
exhibiting at rice art gallery, houston, texas. we have just received images from the show
illustrating oliveira's installations, which he refers to as 'tridimensionals'.
they have evolved into massive, spatial constructions that combine painting, architecture,
and sculpture.

the patterns in oliveira’s work are the visual and tactile qualities of wood that has
been exposed to the elements, and though he incorporates new, flexible plywood
into his work, his primary material remains the discarded wood collected
on the streets of são paulo.
