Henrique Oliveira at Palais de Tokyo.

Brazilian artist Henrique Oliveira is currently exhibiting his exceptional 'Baitogogo' installation at Palais de Tokyo. This matrix of branches or roots unravels and twists from existing pillars and beams. The artist uses reclaimed wood consisting mainly of Tapume wood retrieved from the streets of São Paulo to create references of his Brazilian culture and identity. I just love the poetic interaction  between the architectural and organic/natural forms!
