Arturo “Bordalo II”
uses materials like old tires, scrap metal, steering wheels, oil paint,
and bumpers to form impressive, larger-than-life 3D murals on walls and
back alleys throughout [Lisbon].
The stars of these murals are almost
always animals, and the art itself is a mix of Banksy and a more
colorful Tim Burton. In Bordalo’s Lisbon, scissor-like beaks protrude
from the sides of buildings and a wall becomes a crouching raccoon.
Bordalo’s output has been prodigious over the last few months, and Beautiful/Decay was recently able to document them all in one place. Many more can also be seen on Facebook.
