Bordalo II: the Portuguese artist who creates urban art on railway lines

Artur Bordalo, of personal name, is better known by his stage name Ruel II. Has 26 years and has exhibited at the Centro Cultural de Belém (CCB). Decided to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather â€" Real Bordalo, Portuguese painter of the 20th century â€" and studied Painting at the Faculty of fine arts in Lisbon. However, Bordalo II began his artistic activity in the streets.

It was perhaps for having given the first steps as an artist in the streets that his work has a large urban and cosmopolitan dimension. The exhibition that was patent earlier this year in CCB â€" "World Gone Crazy" featured ten works of Ruel II, made with materials taken from the garbage that mirror the themes of consumerism, waste and excessive materialism.

In one of his latest works, Arthur Ruel used railway lines as the screen. The works are spread over several lines of Portugal and is around the tracks that the artist creates his work. Rows with subliminal messages or tracks that turn into sheet music are just some of the examples of how Bordalo II creates his works on the railways.
