Latin Artist Henrique Oliveira : Caliente Green Art

11

Artist Henrique Oliveira  was a student in São Paulo, Brasil (yes there is more to Brasil than beautiful women) when the plywood fence outside his window began to peel and fade into different layers and colors. In other words he had a busted fence. However, what some might have considered garbage, Henrique saw as tools to create ART!!!

“When the fence was dismantled, Oliveira harvested the remains and used them as materials for his senior show. The result propelled him into his current work: undulating, swirling, bulging peels of wood layered onto hallways and walls in daunting forms.”  His most recent show was called, fittingly, Tapumes (fence in portugese).
