In this captivating video, join Dan Lane as he delves into the inspiration behind his latest collection, "Chaos and Order." This unique artistic endeavour seamlessly blends ancient busts and recognisable figures, bringing them into Dan Lane's world.
Discover the fascinating journey of how the titles "Chaos and Order" evolved from mere aesthetic choices to profound symbols rooted in Greek mythology. Dan Lane shares insights into the significance of chaos and order in Greek and Roman mythology, where the collision of these forces gave birth to the world as we know it.
The artist's passion for Greek and Roman mythology traces back to encounters with awe-inspiring sculptures by legendary artists like Michelangelo, Bernini, and Canova during city breaks in Italy. These masterpieces served as a catalyst for Dan Lane's exploration of themes such as love, greed, lust, envy, and revenge present in the ancient stories.
Witness how Dan Lane incorporates recognisable faces like Athena and Apollo into his sculptures, creating a unique aesthetic that imagines these iconic characters in a modern context. From the bust of Athena within a still life sculpture to the reinterpretation of "The Cupid and Psyche Kiss" by Antonio Canova, each piece in the collection is a visual journey through time and mythology.
