{"product_id":"blue-granulated-spiral-curl-acrylic-bar-sculpture-160cm","title":"Blue Granulated Spiral Curl Acrylic Bar Sculpture - 160cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA curl of blue resin granulated all over, standing upright at the middle of a long frosted acrylic bar. The spiral turns nearly full circle and stops, each end sliced away at an angle to leave a sharp point. Every part of its surface is broken into a coarse grain rather than left smooth. Ink blue is deepest through the belly of the sweep and pales toward each end. The frosted acrylic bar supplied with it carries on well beyond the spiral at both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Surface With No Bright Line On It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGranulating the whole surface of a curl is a decision about distance. Smooth, this form returns one long highlight down the sweep and reads as a drawn line; broken into a coarse grain, it returns nothing sharp at all and reads as a solid with weight in it. That is why the ink blue is banked through the belly here rather than graded evenly: a granular surface scatters a soft gradient into mush, and it needs the colour to change where the form changes so the two are read together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA long sideboard or a console with a clear run, and the bar should be seen along its whole length. A grained surface is indifferent to where the light comes from, which makes it forgiving to position. A plain wall behind keeps the outline, since a grained surface has no edge of its own to fall back on. Granulated all over, it has no bright line anywhere on it, so from across a room it is a silhouette and from close it is a surface, with almost nothing in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpans, the Granulation and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction takes approximately 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. The granulation is worked finer, the ink blue is lifted toward aqua, and the frosted bar is polished clear. Other spans are made on this curl, with its bar kept to the same proportion each time. Curl and bar travel in one long crate, wrapped apart, and the frosted bar is lifted from beneath along its length rather than by either end. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCast acrylic carries it, which puts it with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the spiral itself is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and a granular surface repays \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e lighting.\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\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e78cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160 x 30 x 20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGranulated Cast Blue Resin on Frosted Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54091104846171,"sku":"H440","price":5196.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H440.jpg?v=1792004247","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-granulated-spiral-curl-acrylic-bar-sculpture-160cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
