Danny Lane

Danny Lane’s work combines monumental and brutal physicality, primarily using stacked and fractured glass, together with twisted or rusted steel. Refractive and reflective qualities of the material are used to challenge expectations, engaging the viewer in a physical and metaphysical dialogue. Through exploiting the strength of glass under compression and combining feats of design and engineering, Lane produces work that has sophisticated construction despite the apparent simplicity.

Lane works frequently on a commission basis, both nationally and internationally and his work belongs to museums, private and corporate collections worldwide. Significant commissions include a balustrade of stacked glass for the glass gallery at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Canary Wharf, London, and General Motors, Detroit. Site specific works such as Opening Line, 2004, Gateshead, UK and Assembly Field, 2006, National Assembly for Wales, Cardiff, UK, are inspired by, and re–draw their surroundings through the manipulation of space and light.
