Jordan Mang-osan is a patient guy. This Filipino artist is so patient that he can sit for hours at a time, calmly holding a magnifying glass over a slab of wood so that the sun can burn the slightest little dark spots into the surface. But eventually a beautiful landscape emerges.
The idea of burning images into wood or any other material is not a new one. In fact, it’s a whole genre of art aptly named pyrography. But Mang-osan’s magnifying glass method is pretty unusual.
You can check out more of Mang-osan’s work on Facebook and buy his work at Fine Art America. And maybe even try it yourself, if you have some time and a steady hand. [Laughing Squid]
