The result is a form that occupies a width rather than a height: seen from the front it spans well past the hips, and seen from the side it almost disappears. The material is a pale amethyst violet and the planes across the chest are broad and flat. A shallow slab of black marble sits under it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo Reaches, Neither of Them Supported\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo reaches leaving one body in opposite directions is the awkward case, because each of them ends in mid air and there is nothing to check it against except the other one. They are not symmetrical, so the usual trick of working one and copying it is no help; instead the angles are set against the chest and then read from four positions round the piece, and a reach that looks right from the front and wrong from above is brought back. The ends themselves are the last thing done. Each is closed with a flat cut rather than tapered to a point, since a violet edge brought to a fine section goes pale and the arm appears to fade out. The marble is dressed level and the torso pinned down onto it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA form this wide wants a run of clear surface rather than a niche, and it is at its worst in a corner, where one arm goes into the wall and the span is lost. A long console, a broad chest or the middle of a sideboard suits it. Set it so that both arms are seen at once, which means approaching it face on rather than obliquely, and keep other objects off the surface either side of it. A pale wall behind gives the violet somewhere to read against.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eReach Angle, Colour and Bringing It In\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks where the commission is bespoke. Reach angle is set at order, from this open span to something closer to the body, and either arm can be brought back on its own for an asymmetric version. Tint depth runs from this pale violet to a deep aubergine, with amber, green and grey made the same way. The base is offered in this stone, in a white marble, or in slate, and can be left off altogether. Sizes are cut to order. Where several are ordered together they are poured from the same mixes so the tints agree. Base and figure travel apart in one crate and go together by hand, each a one-person carry. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA torso flinging its arms out wide belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classic-sculptures\"\u003eclassic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; two unsupported reaches lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and pale violet 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\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e54cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35cm\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":54017626636635,"sku":"R051","price":2902.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R051.jpg?v=1791305471","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amethyst-open-armed-torso-cast-resin-sculpture-54cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
