The waist is narrow, the lean begins immediately above it, and by the shoulder the body is nearly horizontal, so the top of the piece sits well outside the footprint of the bottom. Its violet is pale and translucent, darkest low on the body where the resin is thickest. A shallow black marble slab carries it, and the slab is wider than the figure needs it to look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Body Carried Out Past Its Own Waist\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lean like this is decided on the finished object and not on paper. Each casting comes out with its own small variation, and the angle that reads as a deliberate lean rather than an accident is a narrow band: a couple of degrees short of it and the piece merely looks tilted, a couple past and it looks like a mistake. The waist is therefore ground last, with the torso standing on its own slab, and the angle is judged from across the room rather than at the bench. The slab is the other half of the answer. It is cut deliberately generous, because the piece is comfortable on it and would look uneasy on anything tighter, and its front edge is set forward under the lean rather than centred on the waist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one has a definite direction and it should lean into the space rather than towards a wall, so the useful positions are the end of a run, a corner it can lean out of, or a table people walk round. Keep the side it leans towards clear by a good margin. A console or a sideboard is the right surface for it. On a dark surface the marble and the violet close up into one silhouette, so a pale worktop or an oak top does more for it than a stone one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLean Angle, the Slab Under It and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReckon on 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke one. The lean is set at order and can be brought back towards upright or carried further out, and it is mirrored to the other side on request. The violet runs from a pale wash to a deep aubergine, and amber, green and grey are made in the same way. A slate base and a white marble one are both made in place of this black stone, in a footprint suited to whatever lean is chosen. Any scale is cut to order. Figure and slab arrive apart in a single crate and are assembled on site without tools; the figure is lifted at the hips rather than at the shoulder. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA torso leaning far out past its own waist belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classic-sculptures\"\u003eclassic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a body carried almost level at the shoulder leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and pale amethyst resin joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e61cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 x 20 x 7cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmethyst-Tinted Cast Resin with Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54017626702171,"sku":"R052","price":2902.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R052.jpg?v=1791305477","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amethyst-leaning-torso-cast-resin-sculpture-61cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
