Signed Chromed Resin Sculpture on Marble Base by Dan Lane.

Through constant research and experimentation, Dan Lane developed the concept behind Of This Earth over the course of years, refining the idea to create this striking collection of sculptures. Exploring the duality of humanity and depicting the circularity of nature, ‘Of This Earth’ shows a skull absorbed by crystals and minerals of the earth, whilst flowers bloom, and butterflies – a symbol of rebirth – thrive. As the skull represents humanity, the sculpture explores how we are all equal in the eyes of nature.

Fascinated by the cycle of life, Lane shows how as one living being dies and returns to the earth, others can flourish while contemplating how everything we know derives from stardust, be it plants, crystals or humans.

Master of blending the dark and the light, the artist pairs his signature skulls with elegant butterflies and flowers, presented – for the first time – in a chrome lustre. Providing an ethereal finish, this enhances the sense of romance and realism Lane’s work is known for.

“To me, Of This Earth represents the cycle of life and highlights the fact that regardless of what ethnicity we are, what gender we are, or who we vote for, we are all made of the same stuff.” – Dan Lane

This artwork is a chromed resin sculpture on a marble base. The marble base each ‘Of This Earth’ sculpture has been specially selected by the artist to complement the tones and colours in the sculptures. Lane has presented each sculpture in a clear case, introducing a museum-like feel.
