Brazilian artist Henrique Oliveira constructs metamorphosed forms from tree trunks. The hemorrhagic flow of the tree appears to interact and diffuse into the white gallery walls splintering and peeling when facing an obstruction. The stark contrast informs a concept of mutation and perhaps disfigurement between the non-human premise and the rendition of a gallery space being used to exhibit art. His work is expressed as 'dissolving the barrier of order' whilst seeking an alternate perception of decay. An amalgamation of sculpture, painting and architecture forms a pluralistic art practice which is boldly expressive, intuitive and prescribes qualities that can be ascertained with the 'natural' and alien whilst keeping an association with the human.
