Not All Queens Wear A Crown

Dan Lane returns with a brand-new collection featuring one sculpture and three new limited-edition artworks. Originally created for the artist “Chaos & Order” one man exhibition, in this elegantly portrayed on glass, bold limited edition, Dan Lane revisits some of his beloved themes from his earlier work. The artist fuses his classical baroque sculpture style and the drama they convey with his own style and its iconic elements.

The widely used quote takes a different meaning for the artist. Representing everyone who’s humble, generous, and kind, this piece is an awe to the fact that everyone can be special, valued, and important. The artist told us: “There are people that change the lives of others in ways that can’t be imagined yet you could walk past them and not know. They are the true Queens, Kings, and heroes of Society.”

The highly popular works have a contemporary, urban edge, but as an artist, Dan is hugely influenced by the creation 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 hummingbirds and flowers alongside skulls and crowns. Nature influences Dan's art heavily, with many pieces featuring flowers, insects, and birds.

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 piece is also available in a set of three.
