In his dark, intricate sculptures, artist Dan Lane twists natural forms through mechanical intervention, presenting an industrial version of life. The highly popular works have a contemporary, urban edge, but as an artist, Dan is hugely influenced by the creations of the Renaissance and it’s the fusion of the two different styles that make the pieces so special.

Constantly constructing concepts as physical creations, Lane’s development and experimentation methods coupled with his ability to blend thematic elements, results in work that is simultaneously stylistically distinct and ever evolving.

Highly influenced by nature, many of his pieces feature flowers, insects and birds. His original art, like the above, is hand-painted, sprayed and polished in his studio. From making his own acrylics sheets to creating moulds and sculpting in clay, each piece is born of experimentation.

Dan says: “I love the idea of having something beautiful like a butterfly or hummingbird try to find its place and break out of the mechanical worlds I create.”
