If all of us were artists, we probably have slowed down climate change. These people knows no boundaries and exploits more of what they could use to create an artwork. They are very imaginative and resourceful although sometimes I wonder, does low-paid artists becomes more outrageous in their obra that they are more motivated to manipulate things that are unimaginable because they work with whatever's available?
Yesterday, My friend and former research mate brought me to Pico, La Trinidad as she was idolizing another (kailyan) cordilleran artist who preserved the heritage of our region. Jordan Mang-osan, though recently created a following, have a handful collection of his works decades ago. He was known in this latter day as the Solar Artist using Pyrography or the heat of the sun through a magnifying glass as his medium. His works are very amazing as this requires massive tolerance making such intricate patterns and details.
His 3-storey home studio and gallery as well houses collections of his works including from the roof top.
His works have similar themes. All of which are inspired from the old cordillera dating back to his childhood. We also noticed how established he already is as an artist internationally and in the region as we saw countless invites from foreign countries and recognition.
What is more impressive is how well he utilized our common house trashes and other industrial parts such as glass of a car, rubber wheels and even bicycle helmets!
Not only that, it is very tempting to visit his studio again because of his extensive collection of the versions of cameras.
As you go home, you will be charged of motivation to rummage through your bodega in search of broken pieces to transform into an artwork.
