Danny Lane: Master of Form and Light | Brilliant Ideas Ep. 7

Danny Lane is an American-born, London-based artist. He was born in Urbana Illinois in 1955, and has worked actively in London since the 1980s. Working primarily with glass, he is described as "a master of form and light," and is closely associated with public art in the United Kingdom. His engaging and beautiful public artworks installed in the downtown areas of bustling cities and nearby parks create a beautiful urban landscape and provide a refreshing and spontaneous breath of art to the city dwellers.Glass is a difficult material to work with, despite it being so common and familiar in our lives. In addition to the brittle nature of the material, glass working is always accompanied by scorching hot temperature, allowing only a very few to master the sophisticated art. Danny Lane is one of the few. His works continuously push the boundaries of what light can show, while drawing in the bedazzled gaze of viewers. In the seventh episode of Brilliant Ideas brought to you by Bloomberg and Hyundai, take a glimpse into the story of the master of form and light.
