In The Empty Spaces (Set of Two - Look Into My Eyes I & II)

A marked departure from his usual dark metallic and natural tones, this set of two vibrant hand-varnished boxed canvases by Dan Lane perfectly capture the graphic three-dimensionality of his original wall sculptures as well as their striking colours. Drawing from the artist's experiences in UK lockdown, these two artworks form his 2021 collection, In The Empty Spaces.

Alongside his research into colour theory, Dan was inspired by the street art he encountered on his daily walks during lockdown and the transformative qualities they had on otherwise "empty spaces". He created a series of intricate designs and drawings before manipulating individual sheets of resin to form his sculptural form; heating, moulding, and cutting according only to his own aesthetic vision. Contrasting swathes of light and bright colour was then added in up to four coats each before mounting them to a glossy black board deliberately tinted by his spray paint and sealed with a smoky resin finish.
