{"product_id":"blue-and-yellow-slant-topped-gem-acrylic-sculpture-45cm","title":"Blue \u0026 Yellow Slant-Topped Gem Acrylic Sculpture - 45cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA compact acrylic sculpture whose top runs level across one shoulder and then falls away in a long slope over the other, ending in a point at the far side. The faces below are moderate in number and size. Blue, teal and yellow arrive in roughly equal measure across them, a broad yellow face low on the front, a band of teal through the middle and blue up the side beneath the level shoulder, and a single deep magenta face lies under the slope itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Top That Falls Away to One Side\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA slanting top sets the terms for the rest of the cut. The long slope over one shoulder pulls the eye down and across the piece, so the faces beneath it are kept moderate in number and size and the colour is held in broad areas, yellow and teal across the front, blue under the level shoulder and magenta in the one face that sits under the slope. The short level run at the top is left plain for the same reason, giving the slope something to fall from. Each face is then polished out to a clean arris, so that every colour stops at an edge rather than fading into the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 45cm this is made for a deep sideboard or the long top of a cabinet, which lifts its crown to about chest height so the line of the slope reads clearly against the wall behind it. Turn it so the slope falls across the view rather than towards it, which is what lets the level shoulder and the long fall be seen together. Light from one side is what it needs: it runs down the slope and brings the yellow face up, where a single spotlight overhead flattens the top into one bright edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Slope, the Film and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet aside 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. The slope of the top paces this build, since every face below it is set out from that one line. Proportion, the pitch of the slope and the film all belong to the order: a steeper fall, a gentler one, or a broader cut for a low cabinet. There are three films: blue and yellow as here, magenta-to-gold, or a pastel. It is lifted with one hand flat under the foot and the other on a broad face, never by the point where the slope ends. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLevel at one shoulder and sloping away over the other, this compact gem belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and 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\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDichroic Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54024447590747,"sku":"C048","price":2440.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C048.jpg?v=1792011261","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-and-yellow-slant-topped-gem-acrylic-sculpture-45cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
