Eduardo Srur

Eduardo Srur was born in São Paulo in 1974 and graduated in Fine Arts from the Armando Álvares Penteado Foundation (FAAP), where he studied under notable figures such as Nelson Leirner and photographer Eduardo Brandão. From the beginning of his career in the 1990s, Srur has been recognized for his innovative approach, earning multiple awards, including the Michelangelo Award for Contemporary Painting in 1996.

Starting in the 2000s, Eduardo began to explore public space to create impactful installations that combine different materials and visual languages. One of his most notable works was "Acampamento dos Anjos" (2004), installed on the façade of an abandoned hospital in São Paulo. This project illustrates the artist's frequent use of urban locations as platforms to question social and environmental issues.

Srur also made his mark internationally, participating in exhibitions in several countries, including a notable installation in Paris in 2005 and in Metz, where he occupied historic buildings with his works. From 2005 to 2008, his works were presented in various European countries, and he participated in the Havana Biennial.

In São Paulo, Eduardo Srur is known for his urban interventions that often transform the cityscape. Among his most known installations are the kayaks with mannequins on the Pinheiros River and giant PET bottles on the Tietê River. His work aims to provoke reflections on human interactions with the urban and natural environment.

In addition to his visual work, Srur is committed to social and educational projects, offering workshops for children and participating in conferences and international events, such as TED Talks. In 2014, he published the "Manual of Urban Intervention" and continued to use his art to instigate dialogues about sustainability and social awareness.
