Henrique Oliveira was born in ourinhos, brazil in 1973. He received a BFA in painting in 2004 and a masters
in visual poetics in 2007 from the university of são paulo, brazil. He lives and works in são paulo.
Oliveira uses salvaged wood collected from the streets of são paulo to create massive scale, site-specific installations with dense layers that twist, curve, bend, and split.
Oliveira uses tapumes, which in portugese can mean fencing, boarding, or enclosure, as a title for many of his large-scale installations. The term makes reference to the temporary wooden construction fences seen throughout the city of são paulo where oliveira lives.
Henrique Oliveira’s first solo exhibition in the united states, will open at rice art gallery, houston, texas on march 26, 2009.

My husband and I love your exhibit at Rice. It is wonderful, creative and beautiful.
We live near Rice University and would love to have a piece of your exhibit. When you dismantle the exhibit will you consider selling pieces of it?
Thank you for your creative genius.
