Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art presents a solo exhibition of the work of Brazilian artist Henrique Oliveira. As part of the exhibition, Oliveira will create one of the temporary, large-scale installations from pieces of salvaged wood for which he has received international attention. Usually built from discarded weathered fencing material collected from construction sites throughout the city of São Paulo, these “tridimensionals”, as he refers to them, are immense structures that overarch the disciplines of painting, sculpture, and architecture. For the installation at BMoCA Oliveira will use locally sourced and repurposed plywood which he arranges in thin undulating layers in a gestural manner that links these constructs to Abstract Expressionism—both visually and conceptually. In addition to this installation, BMoCA will show a number of Oliveira’s acrylic paintings.
