-Alexandre Farto aka Vhils
Bordalo II presents us a figurative painting full of vivacity and movement, where he paints his own interpretation of urban landscapes and city entertainment. He’s exploring his own mixed media on wood stand base, and are thus made a series of collages of objects (garbage). It is not only a way to recycle, but also a critique of the world we live in, where we often have nice things, which are based on junk without realizing it.
BSCI: Your site’s info says you’ve been greatly influenced by your grandfather’s work.
Bordalo II: As far as I can go back in memory, I always saw him painting, and that influenced my life of course. For my artwork, I use the same thematics in the beginning, and just paint in my own way. Classic themes, with my modern techniques.
