Summary
  1. Comprehensive exhibition of artist Henrique Oliveira (b. Sao Paulo, Brazil 1973) . One of the most prolific artists in the contemporary scene, recognized worldwide for his works of epic dimensions that operate the fusion between various artistic modalities and architecture. Oliveira is best known for his monumental sculptural works which take the form of free-standing pieces, wall-reliefs or immersive environments made from materials scavenged from construction sites: plywood, metal, foam, tree branches. He uses these to build organic structures evocative of tumors, exposed viscera, or various plant-life. These meticulously-built hybrid forms reference both nature and the environmental decay associated with societal waste. Oliveira expertly integrates these structures with adjacent architecture or ordinary objects, blurring the line between a sculpture and its surroundings to suggest a strange and new kind of life. In this first book, or "illustrated monograph", about his professional career, begun in the late 1990s and contains 120 images of work done by the artist over the last 13 years, in addition is an essay by art critic Agnaldo Farias and an interview with Henrique Oliveira by art critic Aracy Amaral.
