{"product_id":"blue-and-white-rising-figure-resin-sculpture-140cm","title":"Blue \u0026 White Rising Figure Resin Sculpture - 140cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rising form turning twice on itself and opening at the crown into a flared trumpet, carried on a plinth almost half the height of the figure above it. Blue at the edges clearing to white through the body, with the trumpet at the crown the palest part of it. Part of what is bought is the tall black plinth, a good part of the height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Plinth That Sets the Reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA support this tall is not furniture under a sculpture, it is part of the drawing: it puts the trumpet at a standing viewer's eye and leaves the turn of the body below that line. Cut it down and the piece becomes something else. What the material does is let the far side of the figure show through the near one, so a form that turns twice is read as a depth rather than as a silhouette. Polished over the whole figure, and the inside of the trumpet is taken to the same grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt needs a hall or a landing, and the plinth is what puts the trumpet at standing height. It needs a wall to read against, dark for preference, since the white through the body has to be white against something. One source, high and to the front, fills the trumpet; light from beneath lights the plinth and leaves the figure flat. The eye is taken up the turn of the body and let go at the trumpet, which is the whole reason the crown opens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAnother Plinth Height, and Two Separate Lifts\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard pieces take 3–4 weeks and bespoke commissions 5–6. On request the trumpet is opened further, the blue is exchanged, or the plinth is cut at another height. Set the plinth at another height and the reading moves with it, since the piece is arranged around where the trumpet meets a standing eye. The plinth goes down and is levelled first; the figure is only then unpacked. Two people for the figure and two for the plinth, and they are not the same lift. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA blue figure with a flared trumpet crown belongs to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the white-cored body joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a landing is where it meets the eye among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor 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\u003e95cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 x 30 x 45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Blue Resin on a Marble Plinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54145953661275,"sku":"Z569","price":3105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z569.jpg?v=1790776180","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-and-white-rising-figure-resin-sculpture-140cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
