Meet Danny Lane

American artist Danny Lane's formative years in England studying under Patrick Reyntiens and at the Byam Shaw School of Art laid the groundwork for his drawing-centric creative process. Travels in Europe inspired an enduring interest in the relationship between art and architecture, a substantial influence on his work.

In 1981, inspired by 20th century applied arts pioneers like Isamu Noguchi, Lane established a London studio using industrial glass for affordable art objects. By the mid-80s, his contextual understanding, direct material use, and contradictory form unification established him as an international design vanguard, with pieces produced by Fiam Italia.

Alongside domestic work, Lane received architectural steel and glass sculpture commissions. Still based in his 1989 expanded London studio today, his draftsman origins continue driving a prolific, globally-exhibited output melding fine art with functional design.
