Danny Lane
Lane was born in 1955 in Urbana, Illinois, United States. During his childhood, his family moved many times, from Virginia to West Germany, New York's Greenwich Village, and finally to Baltimore. Traveling in Europe exposed Lane to a wide range of art and architecture. Danny Lane, who currently lives in London, is known for his glass and steel sculptures. He is also known for his work in art furniture and contemporary design.
His work can be found in public spaces and collections around the world such as London Underground, Canary Wharf Plc, Victoria & Albert Museum, Microsoft, British Land Plc, Rolex UK, British Airport Authority, Swire Properties (Hong Kong) and General Motors. Lane uses the power of compressed glass and its luminous quality in the construction of glass sculptures, as can be seen in his collection of glass tables for Fiam. This approach extends traditional metal and glass forging methods and has resulted in a diverse range of work, from monumental structures made from industrial float glass and steel to stained glass sculptures, castings and design objects.
