Money Is Not Our God

Dan Lane returns with a brand-new collection featuring one sculpture and three new limited-edition artworks. The highly popular works have a contemporary, urban edge, but as an artist, Dan is hugely influenced by the creations of the Renaissance and it’s the fusion of the two different styles that make the pieces so special. The dark and thoughtful piece is full of contrasting details, incorporating elements in a balanced way, such as the opposing darkness and gothic representation of the skull and the crown and the more romantic nature of love with the adorning flowers and butterflies.

"In this piece I play with the movement of the dollars and try to make them look as if they are falling. As they fall they are joined by butterflies which for me represents nature an all together more important thing. As this play between the money and butterflies happens the skull is looking up as if to prey to the money," the artist told us.

Constantly constructing concepts as physical creations, Lane’s development and experimentation methods coupled with his ability to blend thematic elements, results in work that is simultaneously stylistically distinct and ever evolving. This elegantly portrayed on glass, bold limited edition is a statement piece in any room. The limited edition is as unique as the original, printed with expertise that highlights the metallic and silver details, adding depth to the smallest elements like the butterflies surrounding the skull and the dollar bills.

Originally created for the artist's “Chaos & Order” show, this elegantly portrayed on glass, bold limited edition is also available in a set of three.
