While I Breathe, I Hope | 2024
‘While I Breathe, I Hope’ is a poignant reflection of Dan Lane’s optimism and belief in humanity's resilience. Conceived over five years ago, the sculpture's relevance has only grown in the face of today's global challenges. Lane envisions this piece as a statement about holding onto hope during troubled times, a sentiment that resonates deeply in 2024.
Crafted from stainless steel and set on a black granite base, ‘While I Breathe, I Hope’ showcases Lane's exceptional skill in manipulating robust elements to convey delicate themes. The sculpture invites viewers to interpret its meaning – is it being pulled apart or is it a symbol of humanity holding together through adversity? The artist's hope is that with collective effort, the world can move towards a more peaceful existence.
‘While I Breathe, I Hope’ exemplifies Lane's ability to blend the classical with the contemporary, the beautiful with the industrial. This masterpiece stands as a testament to endurance, optimism, and the enduring human spirit.

“My work acts as an invite into my intricate imagination,my dark yet beautiful world of nature against an industrial backdrop.”
The artist
Dan Lane
Dan Lane's works certainly have a contemporary, urban edge, but as an artist, he is hugely influenced by the Renaissance. He is inspired by the sculptures found in churches and cathedrals around the world, particularly the flamboyant styling of the Italian sculptor and architect Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the artist credited with creating the Baroque style of sculpture, and other Italian artistic geniuses Michelangelo and Antonio Canova.
Nature also influences Dan's art, with many pieces featuring flowers, insects, and birds. For his original 3D sculptures, Dan experiments with colours, finishes and textures. These include crushed glass, gold and silver leaf, marble, bronze, and glass diamonds.
