Invasive Organic Sculptures

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Devir' is a Massive Tree-Like Sculpture in New York's Upper East Side

— July 19, 2017 — Art & Design
Artist Henrique Oliveira has been creating giant organic sculptures throughout Europe for over a decade. More recently, the artist has brought his work to North America with the construction of 'Devir,' a massive invasive installation spotted in New York's Upper East Side.

Oliveira works primarily with reclaimed materials found from construction sites in a process he compares to "raising the dead." The artist's installation features a twisting organic tree-like sculpture that ejects itself from one end of the room to the other, inviting on-lookers to crawl and crouch under the structure to make their way around the room. Made from recycled plywood scraps, the invasive sculpture elicits a sense that's both threatening and intriguing.

The project has been described as a "hidden weed in a concrete city" and brings a unique sense of artful deviation to this famously upper-class neighborhood.
Trend Themes
1. Giant Organic Sculptures - Opportunity for artists and designers to create large-scale organic sculptures using reclaimed materials, offering a unique and immersive art experience.
2. Invasive Installations - Potential for disruptive art installations that challenge traditional art spaces by incorporating invasive, out-of-place sculptures in unexpected locations.
3. Reclaimed Material Art - Emerging trend of artists utilizing reclaimed materials from construction sites to create sustainable and environmentally conscious artworks with a powerful message.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - Artists and designers can explore innovative ways to incorporate reclaimed materials and create large-scale organic sculptures for public spaces, galleries, and installations.
2. Tourism and Hospitality - Hotels, museums, and tourism destinations can leverage the appeal of immersive and unique art experiences to attract visitors and differentiate their offerings from competitors.
3. Sustainable Construction - Construction companies and architects can embrace the use of reclaimed materials in their projects, promoting sustainability and creativity in urban spaces.
