See No Evil Skull

Dan Lane aka Mechanica, creates artwork "based around natural elements i.e. skulls, animals, humans and plants that have taken over, or some how being kept alive by mechanical intervention.  All the pieces are made up of unwanted or thrown away items, people give me anything from old typewriters to fruit bowl! I then create these surreal wall hanging sculptures. The paint effect I use makes the pieces look like they have been cast from metal but the pieces are made up from all sort of different materials." This piece is titled "See No Evil". I love seeing artwork made from old things. This is a great example of how something beautiful can be created from junk. You can see more of Dan's work on his website and Facebook page.

I am just blown away by the body of your work.  It truly is amazing how you are able to find the most interesting items and assemble them into art that is rather thought provoking in their silent commentary on the world.  Thank you for sharing your work with us.
