See Amorsolo's Paintings as LEGO Bricks at This Special Exhibit

(SPOT.ph) Fernando Amorsolo's paintings have stood through time. His pieces, which often depict rural Philippine landscapes, are found in various galleries and museums worldwide. Jorge B. Vargas Museum and Filipiniana Research Center at the University of the Philippines Diliman, for example, display a major collection of the National Artist's works. But if you're looking to experience his masterpieces in a different way, Shangri-La Plaza in Mandaluyong City is hosting an art exhibit of Amorsolo's paintings transformed into LEGO brick mosaic art. PinoyLUG's Project: AMORsolo runs from August 9 to 14 at the mall's Grand Atrium.
