The Giant Raccoon by Bordalo II near the Belem Cultural Center Turning garbage into colorful art to raise social awareness on the ecological issues and sustainability, Bordalo II’s works are amazing, making him my new favorite street artist. Passing by the Belem Cultural Center and going towards Belem Tower, you can see one amazing giant raccoon. It’s so colorful you cannot miss it, and it’s a fascinating mix between street painting and a 3D sculpture made out of old tires, spare auto parts and home appliances, and a lot of unidentifiable junk. This must be one of his recent and best pieces, since he uses the raccoon’s face as his profile picture. Bordalo II is a revolutionary street artist since he actually turns other people’s garbage into remarkable art pieces. Because I love his works so much, I’ve included more words about him below. Bordalo II uses old tires, bumpers, cans, computer parts, wood, appliances and other discarded stuff from wastelands and abandoned factories to form three-dimensional murals of animals. His painted found trash is not just for art’s sake; the artist aims at raising awareness of the amount of stuff we throw away, demonstrating that one man’s trash is another man’s art. I found this big racoon in Belem near the cultural centre. It was the first time that I saw a street art work where the third dimension is not just an optical illusion but an actual combination of painting and sculpture.
