Many Times,

I have commented how much I admire the work of artists,

especially if they use a different medium than normal, take the picture above, it looks like a scene you would see in almost any department store, but one thing makes this different from any other, it was produced with heat, using different types of soldering irons artist Zhang Yalian has produce many pyrographs (a genre that uses a heated object as a brush to paint on various materials such as paper and wooden boards) they have been have been exhibited in Hanau Germany and are celebrated by many local people; some even go to his house to purchase his works,

what is even more amazing is that has not had a day of professional art training, He didn’t go to art school or attend any arts classes, as early as 1984, without knowing that pyrography existed, Zhang started “playing”, He began to work as a carpenter and once planned to make furniture for a friend who was getting married, the friend asked if he could make antique reproduction furniture, and Zhang suggested to burn some images into the wood, then he decorated every surface of the furniture with an electric iron, even the surface of each drawer. “it was nice, since then, I have played with pyrography in my spare time,” such talent and what a extraordinary brush, a soldering iron.
