Blow My Mind, 2020

A framed flatbed giclée on glass by Dan Lane. 

Mechanical forms and nature clash in this striking contemporary artwork by the British sculptor and former engineer.

Bursting into life in an almost 3D effect, the eye-catching butterflies represent the best of humanity and nature, whilst the gun and bullet symbolise the dark side of life. The metallic elements and glass finish complement the razor-sharp detail, which was originally created by a process of giclée-printing on the back of toughened glass before adding a chrome foil to give an amazing highlight effect.

Dan says: “This is by far my most vibrant and explosive print yet. It has what I consider the perfect mix of light and dark, good and bad. I think this artwork will be a really good conversation piece in people’s homes, and for me that is one of the most important things art can do: make people take notice, think and talk!”
