Four peaks rise from one continuous plain and the tallest stands a little left of centre. The grade is smooth the whole way up with no visible boundary anywhere, and it is deep from front to back, with no base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Colour Settles Instead of Capping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery painted mountain in the world is dark along the foot and white across the top, because that is what snow does. This one is the other way round: the colour gathers along the foot and lets go as it climbs, so the summits are the clearest part of the object rather than the whitest. The effect is haze rather than snow - a range seen across a valley on a wet morning, where the far peaks are sharper than the near ground. It is a deliberate inversion and it only works if the grade is genuinely continuous, because a boundary anywhere in it turns haze back into paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grade is read against what is behind it, so a plain ground matters more here than light does. Against plaster or a pale wall the blue at the foot has something to sit on and the clear summits disappear into it, which is the effect; against a bookcase the summits pick up whatever is behind them and the inversion is lost. It needs a surface with genuine front-to-back room as well as length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInverting the Grade, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery follows a 3–4 week build as standard, or a 5–6 week build if bespoke. The blue gathers at the foot and is gone by the summits, which is the reverse of a snow line and is the whole of the design. The grade is inverted so the colour caps the peaks instead, the blue is taken to a grey, and the ridge is made at other lengths. Inverting it gives the familiar reading and loses the haze, so it is worth seeing both before deciding. It ships in a long crate braced across the foot with each summit faced on its own, and two people carry it level. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue that settles at the foot belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a grade with no boundary anywhere puts it in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and haze read against plain plaster suits 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\u003e90cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Blue Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54065952457051,"sku":"S030","price":3577.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/S030.jpg?v=1790849322","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-smoke-graded-mountain-range-resin-sculpture-90cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
