CCC's Street Art Contest # 243 "Baby Bear" "Ursinho bebé" - Bordalo II, Cacém, Portugal [Eng-Pt]
Good afternoon, friends!
Welcome to another post in the Street Art community!
Hello everyone! It's been a long time since I shared a post in this community. Part of that was because I lost all the photos I had on my computer. But so much for the past, right?
Well then, the other day, I was returning from a little shopping trip in a locality near my house, when I came across these little stairs, which connect two streets that are on different levels, and which are located between two buildings, in a residential area.
If you look, the piece was designed and built by the artist Bordalo II, who uses plastic waste to give a new use to what used to be considered just a material to be recycled.
In this piece, Bordalo uses the fact that we have two walls, at different levels, to give the teddy bear an even more three-dimensional feel.
The use of plastics from public furniture (garbage cans), personal protective equipment (green helmets) and even a buoy from the high seas (used by fishing boats), leaves us completely amazed at their ability to be a small, colorful piece that leads us to dream...
Bem-vindos a mais uma publicação para a Comunidade Street Art!
Olá a todos! Já há muito tempo que eu não partilhava uma publicação nesta comunidade. Em parte, isso deveu-se ao facto de eu ter perdido todas as fotografias que tinha no computador. Mas do passado reza a história, certo?
Pois bem, então no outro dia, estava eu a regressar de uma pequena compra numa localidade perto da minha casa, quando me deparei com estas escadinhas, que unem duas ruas que estão em diferentes níveis, e que se localizam entre dois prédios, numa zona residencial.
Se repararem, a peça que foi idealizada e construída pelo artista Bordalo II, que utiliza lixo de plástico dando uma nova utilidade ao que era considerado como apenas como material para ser reciclado.
Nesta peça, Bordalo, utiliza o facto de termos duas paredes, em níveis diferentes, para poder transmitir ainda mais uma sensação de tridimensionalidade ao ursinho.
A utilização desde plásticos oriundos de mobiliário público (caixotes de lixo), material protecção individual (capacete verde) e mesmo uma boia de alto mar (usada pelos barcos pesqueiros), deixa-nos completamente admirados com a capacidade de serem cada uma por si, uma pequena peça colorida, que nos leva a sonhar...
Look at the gentleman who was coming up the stairs at that moment. It looks like he's on our baby bear's back./Reparem no senhor que estava a subir as escadas naquele momento. Parece que está nas costas do nosso ursinho bebé.
And the tire detail. A perfect eye!/E o pormenor do pneu. Um olho perfeito!
The second level, what's in the background/O segundo nível, o que se encontra em segundo plano

Sorry about losing your photos, that sucks I can imagine. I have over a thousand photos that I have not shared yet, better I save them elsewhere too.
That's a creative and colorful street at you've found, I can imagine it took long to create.
Yes, it is like the saying says: "Cry over the spilled milk..."
It is indeed a work that brightens up this small part of a suburb area, that otherwise it would be only two flights of stairs painted in white.
Always cool to see a new work done by this talented artist. Always great work. Thanks for sharing these pics on The StreetArt Community.
Have a great day
