{"product_id":"blue-dichroic-faceted-block-acrylic-sculpture-82cm","title":"Blue Dichroic Faceted Block Acrylic Sculpture - 82cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn acrylic sculpture cut as a broad faceted block standing on a flat foot, wider than it is high and deep enough from front to back to read as a solid rather than a panel. One large face fills most of the front; a long face slopes back from its upper edge to a ridge that falls away to one side, a band of facet runs in beneath it towards the foot, and short facets close each end to a point. The colour is a cyan-blue, deepest towards one end, turning teal with a touch of green across the sloping upper face and paling to aqua along the band below, with a small flash of amber and green at one corner of the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Broad Face and the Facets Framing It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything in the cut is set out from the front face, the largest plane on the piece and the first one anybody meets. The tilted plane above it, the band below and the short facets closing each end are all drawn to frame that single broad plane rather than compete with it. Each face is worked flat and polished to one grade, so that no plane reads duller than its neighbour, and the arrises between them are left crisp. The colour then follows the angle of each plane: blue across the broad face, teal where the upper face tilts back and a pale aqua along the band below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is at its best on a long surface with room at both ends, a console, a run of low cabinets or a deep shelf, where people come upon it face on and a little above. A lamp placed to one side lifts the teal of the sloping face against the blue of the front, while a single light straight in front flattens the facets into one colour. A plain wall behind it keeps the edges of the planes sharp, and a dark surface beneath it deepens the blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Span, the Film and Setting It Down\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLead times run 5–6 weeks bespoke and 3–4 standard. The span, the depth and the angles of the facets are drawn per commission, so the block can be drawn out along a console or cut squarer to stand alone. Film colours are agreed at order, this cyan-blue, a magenta that turns to gold or an amber, or none at all, leaving the acrylic colourless. It is lifted from beneath, by the foot and the band above it with a hand at each end, and set down on its foot rather than slid into place. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA broad block cut into cyan and teal planes over a flat foot is filed 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\u003e49cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e82cm\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":54024448082267,"sku":"C058","price":3593.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C058.jpg?v=1792010836","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-dichroic-faceted-block-acrylic-sculpture-82cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
