Peter Lane is a New York based ceramic artist who specializes in large-scale architectural installations, monumental furniture, and decorative work. His imagery evokes nature at it’s most brutal, primal, and sensual, utilizing rough-hewn and hand-wrought direct techniques that take advantage of the character of the earth itself. In his 10,000 square foot Brooklyn studio, Peter and his crew are capable of massive sculptural expression. Keenly aware of his pieces’ technical challenges, Lane develops each of them pragmatically, at least at first. Beginning with a solid plan and drawing for each commission, he lets fly when it comes to forming the clay. Calling the process “performative,” Lane uses all manner of tools, not least of which his hands, to shape the clay spontaneously. After forming the clay according to the ideal of the moment, Lane applies any one of a palette of colorful glazes, including ones based on metals such as cobalt and bronze, that give his ceramics a uniquely metallic look. The work of Peter Lane has found international repute and can be found in galleries, private collections, and museums the world over. In addition to his partnership with Minassian, Lane has shown in Los Angeles’ Gray Gallery, Southampton’s Jeff Lincoln Art + Design, and participated in a show at the Bass Museum of Art in Miami. Since 2009, the artist has had a piece in the permanent collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.
