Six years after his first major solo show, Bordalo II returned with a brand new exhibition: "IRREVERSIBLE".
彼の最初の大規模個展から6年後、ボルダロ II は新たな展覧会『IRREVERSIBLE』を発表した。

Artur Bordalo (Lisbon, 1987) uses the artist name Bordalo II, which he chose as a tribute to his grandfather, the painter Real Bordalo, in order to promote a continuity and reinvention of his artistic legacy.
アルトゥール・ボルダロ（リスボン、1987年生）は、画家である祖父 Real Bordalo へ捧げる意味を込めて“Bordalo II”という芸名を選び、自身の芸術的遺産の継承と再創造を促進することを目的としている。

His youth took place between the hours spent in the studio of his grandfather Real Bordalo, who had an incessant passion for watercolors and oils and portrayed landscapes and typical scenes of the city, and the adventures around illegal graffiti in the underworld of the city of Lisbon.
彼の若い頃は、絶え間ない水彩と油彩への情熱を持ち、風景や都心の典型的な風景を描く祖父Real Bordaloのスタジオで過ごした時間と、リスボンの地下世界での違法グラフィティの冒険の間に培われた。

He attended the Painting course at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon for eight years, without ever having completed it, but says that these years allowed him to discover sculpture, ceramics, and to experiment with a variety of materials that have distanced him from painting, which had taken him there in the first place.
彼はリスボン美術大学の絵画課程に8年間在籍したが、修了することはなく、これらの年月が彼に彫刻や陶芸を発見させ、多様な素材を試す機会を与え、当初は絵画へと導かれた自分から距離を置く原因となったと語る。

The public space would become the chosen stage for his explorations of color and scale and the platform where he gradually transformed his habits and channeled his experiences in the construction and development of his artistic work, which is currently focused on questioning the materialistic and greedy society of which he is (also) part.
公共空間は、彼の色彩と尺度の探究のための選ばれた舞台となり、習慣を徐々に変容させ、芸術作品の構築と展開における経験を活かすプラットフォームとなった。現在、彼が関与するこの作品は、彼自身が（同じく）属する物質主義的で貪欲な社会への問いかけに焦点を当てている。

The excessive production and consumption of stuff, which results in the continuous production of “garbage” and consequently in the destruction of the Planet, are the central themes of his production. This “garbage” assumes itself as the unusual and unique raw material that Bordalo uses in the construction of small and large scale pieces that he has spread around the world and that, above all, intend to be the vehicle of a universal manifesto.
物やモノの過剰生産と消費は、絶え間ない“ゴミ”の生産を招き、それが地球の破壊へとつながる。これらの“ゴミ”は、ボルダロが世界中に散らばせた小型・大型の作品の構築に用いられる、珍しく唯一無二の原材料として自己を成す。何より、それは普遍的なマニフェストの乗り物となることを意図している。）
