Joao Louro
Joao Louro, born in 1963, lives and works in Lisbon. He studied architecture at the University of Lisbon and painting at the Arco School of Visual Art.  Louro's body of work encompasses painting, sculpture, photography and video. A natural descendant of conceptual and minimal art, João Louro has sought to override the romantic paradigm using the importance and role of the viewer, who completes the work of art.
