Peter Lane is a New York-based ceramic artist who specializes in large-scale architectural installations, monumental furniture, and decorative work. His imagery evokes the nature of clay at its most brutal, primal, and sensual, using rough-hewn, hand-wrought techniques that draw on the character of the earth itself.
Working directly on the concrete floor of his 10,000-square-foot Brooklyn studio and showroom, Peter and his team create the sculptures by mixing, throwing, pounding, and stomping up to eight tons of clay at a time. While he takes inspiration from artists such as Diego Giacometti, Alberto Burri, and Paul Evans, Lane is equally influenced by his passion for the earth, natural processes, and the idea of human connection.
He has been fortunate to collaborate with many exceptional architects and designers who have integrated his site-specific work into their interiors and gardens. His clients include Chahan Minassian, Peter Marino, Jamie Bush, Joe Nahem, and Emily Summers, among others.
