LISBON, July 28 (Reuters) - Portugal's famed street artist, Bordalo II, has broken into a Lisbon venue where Pope Francis will celebrate a mass next week and rolled out a huge carpet of oversized banknotes to criticise how much the state has spent on the event. Francis will travel to Lisbon from Aug. 2-6 to attend the World Youth Day global gathering of young Catholics, which is expected to bring together hundreds of thousands of pilgrims. Bordalo II, known for his political art pieces often made from garbage, shared pictures and videos of the carpet, featuring humongous 500-euro ($551) notes, being rolled out down the venue's stairs on Thursday in a protest he described as the "walk of shame". "At the time when many people are fighting to keep their homes, their work and their dignity, millions worth of public funds have been invested to sponsor the (papal) tour," the artist, whose real name is Artur Bordalo, wrote on Instagram. Official estimates in January showed the event would cost 161 million euros, to be paid by the government, the Catholic Church, the city council of Lisbon and nearby Loures. A number of public figures and politicians have criticised the Portuguese state for its share of the expenditure, which the government put at 30 million euros in January, as millions of Portuguese face galloping inflation. Earlier this year, heavy criticism forced the Lisbon city council to cut planned spending on an altar for Francis to celebrate a mass to 2.9 million euros from over 5 million euros. Asked about Bordalo II's carpet, Lisbon Mayor Carlos Moedas told reporters the artist used his voice to express his concerns and that such protests were normal for these events.

PRINT ARTIST RESEARCH
Artur Bordalo is a Portugese street artist who spray paints onto railway tracks and makes them into art. I really admire his work as it is something I have never seen done before and is very unique. For me personally, I find that standing at the train station, waiting for your train can be very boring at times as there isn't much to be looking at. His work adds some life into the train station and makes it less dull and boring.
This series of Bordalo's railway art expresses critiques of modern realities and global issues. For Example, this piece called ' This Is How We Live: Online/ Offline' expresses how in today's society we depend on the internet for too much.

Lighted Wild Cat Done in Agueda, Portugal
Impressive Street Art By Bordalo II
Artur Bordalo (born 1987), known professionally as Bordalo II (pronounced Bordalo Segundo), is a street artist and self-described artivist from Portugal. Bordalo’s work consists mainly of large installations and murals made from recycled trash, to highlight waste and over-consumption in our world today. The animals present in Bordalo II’s installations are species that are directly affected by this pollution and that could perish to the effects of such waste present in their natural habitat.

One Man’s Trash is Artur Bordalo’s Art
To see more of Artur’s work, follow @b0rdalo_ii on Instagram.
They say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. For Portuguese artist Artur Bordalo (@b0rdalo_ii), trash is the inspiration for his work, a series of sculptures designed to highlight issues of pollution and waste. Look at the form of one of Artur’s larger-than-life flamingos, bears or skunks, and then look again, but closer. “Damaged bumpers, burnt garbage cans, tires and appliances are just some of the objects that can be identified when you go into detail,” says Artur of the materials he uses, which are found in junkyards, abandoned factories or through corporate recycling programs. “I’m inspired by my life experiences and everything around me — the real world.”
