Skin to Steel

  • Free
  • Art

From skin to steel. From memory to structure. From tradition to innovation.

Skin to Steel is designed as an immersive experience for collectors, architects, designers and cultural leaders.

Skin to Steel marks the official unveiling of VANTA, the culmination of over a decade of artistic evolution from artist Brea Lanyon. Featuring more than 60 original works, the exhibition showcases fine art, sculptural metalworks and functional design pieces that together form the spine of the VANTA world.

This is a show grounded in transformation – a practice born in tattooing and reborn in steel, now shaped into objects of permanence, precision and presence.
