Henrique Oliveira creates three-dimensional sculptures made from scrap plywood found from construction sites in Sao Paulo.  “Originally a painter, Oliveira began making his sculptures — some of which look something like gigantic roots bursting into a room — after spying an old, peeling wooden fence outside of his studio. He intuitively saw the peeling strips of wood as something similar to that of a brushstroke laid down by a painter’s hand, and since then, has worked with aged plywood in this way, much like a painter would colour a canvas.”  - inhabitant
