Wilfrid Wood
London, UK

Wilfrid Wood was born in London and grew up in rural Sussex. He studied graphics at Central St. Martins, then got a job in publishing. Wilfrid got bored of that and applied to train as a ‘headbuilder’ for the satirical TV program Spitting Image. When that ended he became a freelance sculptor.

Guest curator David B. Smith on the work of Henrique Oliveira

"

Henrique Oliveira creates massive installations constructed with wood fencing salvaged from the streets of Sao Paulo. Through these largescale works Oliveira creates the illusion of biomorphic forms bursting through walls and ceilings, broaching the confines of the spaces that they are installed in. His 2011 exhibition at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art here in Colorado was a real visual treat—Oliveira used his overlapping boards to convey thick gestural brushstrokes, which overcame the classic white walls of the space.
