Uniquely Disturbing Wooden Installations by Henrique Oliveira

Article by Hyathiz

I love my dogs, reading books, and taking great pictures with my battered but still functional digital camera. Taking great pictures with a high end camera is almost too easy, producing fantastic images with an outdated one is an accomplishment by itself.

Henrique Oliveira is a Brazilian is an artist who likes to call his three-dimensional wooden installations: “Tridimensionals”. Other people simply call it disturbing. These sculptures of his look like some sort of sequel to the Lord of the Rings series, The Revenge of the Ents. Henrique went into a lot of trouble to make it look like these disembodied tree trunks? roots? look like they’re bursting right out of the wall/floor/building. It’s enough to make passers-by take a second look, and run away. Creepy as they may be, these works of art actually represent an effortless fusion of sculpture, painting, architecture, and the runaway imagination of one unique artist.
