In parallel with his solo exhibition currently on display at the EverardArt gallery in Tokyo, we are pleased to present a set of works from his totem series.

From New York to Tokyo, Paris to Hong Kong, Vasco Mourao captures the striking beauty and complexity of major cities. A seasoned traveler and architecture enthusiast, Vasco Mourão talks to us about the iconic cities that have marked his journey: his works in ink on paper, metal and marble offer an intimate vision of urban habitat, revealing the details of buildings, their light, their shapes and textures.

Caught in the continuous flow of construction motifs repeated to infinity, his drawings vibrate under the effect of a particular movement. The human figure, often absent, sometimes appears in the form of anonymous individuals emerging on lifeless facades. It is a way for the artist to breathe into the city its soul, its identity.

With mastered composition and meticulous technique, Vasco Mourão creates works that are both striking and subtle, capturing the essence of cities while leaving ample space for the imagination and contemplation of those who observe them.
