One for Stateside art lovers.

Brazilian artist Henrique Oliveira is set to exhibit his "tridimensional” installations at the Rice Gallery in Houston, Texas between March 26th and May 9th. Oliveira uses tapumes, which in Portuguese can mean “fencing,” “boarding,” or “enclosure,” as a title for many of his large-scale installations, referencing the temporary wooden construction fences seen throughout the artist's home city of São Paulo.

His work has evolved into massive, spatial constructions that combine painting, architecture, and sculpture. In some installations he uses walls as supports, attaching and shaping lengths of PVC tubing to create enormous, protruding forms over which he layers thin sheets of wood. In others, he arranges thousands of pieces of painted wood into gestural abstract “paintings” that spill off the wall into the viewer’s space.
