{"product_id":"black-and-teal-horizon-band-acrylic-column-sculpture-110cm","title":"Black \u0026 Teal Horizon Band Acrylic Column Sculpture - 110cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA square black column whose upper third is a block of solid acrylic, graded from black at the top through a deep teal to a pale grey-green where it meets the metal. The black at the top of the acrylic matches the column below, so the eye reads the teal between them as a band set into one column: a horizon seen through a slot cut in a wall rather than an inlay. The acrylic is solid rather than panel, so the grade has real depth and sits inside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Horizon Read Through a Slot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe block works because of what surrounds it. Its top is black, the column under it is black, and the teal between them is the only colour on the piece, so it reads as a view rather than as a material. The joint between acrylic and metal runs round all four faces and sits flush, so the column keeps one square section from top to foot and nothing breaks the line of its edges. Inside the acrylic the grade is soft: the black thins into a deep teal, the teal pales into a band of grey-green, and the pale band carries the eye down to the dark metal, where the horizon ends as cleanly as it began.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 110cm the teal band sits a little below the eye of someone in a chair beside it, while a standing visitor looks down onto its black top, so it suits a room where people sit, a sitting room, a reception area or a library, placed where it is approached head-on. It needs to be seen straight on for the band to read as a view, and from a few steps away rather than at arm's length. The background matters more than usual: a plain wall behind it keeps the column's edges sharp, and light from the front lifts the teal, while a downlight finds only the black top and leaves the band dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Band, the Column and Carrying It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard build is 3–4 weeks and the bespoke build 5–6. The height of the column under the block is drawn per piece and changes the whole reading: kept down for a piece met sitting down, raised for a hall. The grade comes as this black-to-pale teal, a warm amber run, a blue, or a colourless band, and the share of the height given to the block is set to suit the room. It is carried by the column below the block, with both hands on the metal, since the acrylic itself is not a handhold, and it is stood upright before it is let go. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA teal horizon held in the top of a black column, this piece stands with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e110cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid Acrylic on a Metal Column\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54023524909403,"sku":"C403","price":7987.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C403.jpg?v=1792089287","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/black-and-teal-horizon-band-acrylic-column-sculpture-110cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
