The timeless majesty of classical sculptors Michelangelo and Bernini are combined with the rugged delicacy of Dan Lane's contemporary masterpieces in this elegant stainless steel sculpture. The smooth female arm, mounted on a smart black granite base, is juxtaposed with 3D tattoos that emerge out of the arm like aspects of nature; perfectly complementing the meticulous steel butterfly perching, as if weightless, on the fingers of the piece.
Growing organically from the Dan's previous work, this sculpture evokes his message that "we need to repair the delicate balance [between mankind and nature" and this piece perfectly offsets his other piece 'When All is Equal'. Shop the sculpture here to create a perfect pair or view Dan Lane's full portfolio of artwork here to combine this sculpture with a piece of wall art.

Part of
Modern Relics | 2017-2023
Classic art meets modern culture for Dan Lane's new Modern Relics series. Inspired by the works of Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Michelangelo, he has explored how we treat our bodies to create works which look like they could be hundreds of years old.

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.
