Mourão iniciou sua produção artística na segunda metade da década de 1980, participando de exposições a partir de 1991. Realizou, em 1989, os primeiros registros fotográficos sobre grades de proteção, segurança e isolamento presentes nas ruas do Rio de Janeiro, o que resultou em sua conhecida série Grades. A partir dos anos 2000, essa pesquisa foi desdobrada e resultou em esculturas, vídeos e instalações. Desde 2010, Mourão expandiu as referências utilizadas para outras estruturas modulares de formas geométricas próprias do contexto urbano, realizando esculturas e instalações cinéticas de caráter interativo, que podem ser acionadas pelo público. Entre outros aspectos, o artista estabelece, por meio dessas obras, uma associação entre a problemática da violência urbana implícita nas obras anteriores e a preocupação formalista com o equilíbrio estrutural.

Mourão began his artistic production in the second half of the 1980s, participating in exhibitions from 1991 onwards. In 1989, he made the first photographic records of the guardrails, security and isolation present in the streets of Rio de Janeiro, which resulted in its well-known Grades series. From the 2000s onwards, this research was expanded and resulted in sculptures, videos and installations. Since 2010, Mourão has expanded the references used to other modular structures with geometric shapes typical of the urban context, creating sculptures and kinetic installations of an interactive nature, which can be activated by the public. Among other aspects, the artist establishes, through these works, an association between the problem of urban violence implicit in previous works and the formalist concern with structural balance.
