Statement
Mourão's works, built with multiple materials, and comprehending the production of drawings, sculptures, videos, objects, photographs, texts, performances and installations, develop a plastic vocabulary where urban visual elements are displaced from their usual context. Among it there are references to sports, architecture, taverns and the marking of public works: anonymous, yet familiar icons to those who contemplate the bustling metropolis.
