{"product_id":"blue-thick-curl-marble-bar-resin-sculpture-160cm","title":"Blue Thick Curl Marble Bar Resin Sculpture - 160cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA blue curl of cast resin, thick in section, that sweeps round on itself into a broad C and stays open on one side, with one end drawn up to a point and the other cut off square. The blue is flat rather than graded and sits evenly across the whole body. A pale marble bar is included and runs well past the curl at both sides, which is where the overall measurement comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Bar Is Twice the Curl\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sculpture set on a bar twice its own width is making a claim about the space around it rather than about itself. The curl could stand on a block cut to its own footprint and would then be an object on a plinth; on a run of stone this long it becomes the incident in a much wider composition, and the empty stone on either side is doing as much work as the casting. That is why the blue is flat and not graded. A colour that changed across the body would give the curl its own internal event and the bar would go back to being a base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wants a full console or a long sideboard with nothing else on it, and the bar should be seen end to end. Set it where there is clear wall behind, since the empty stone on either side only reads if nothing interrupts it. The bar is long and needs support along its whole length, not at the ends alone. The bar is twice the curl's own width, which leaves a clear run of stone on both sides and puts the sculpture in the middle of something rather than on top of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBar Lengths, the Blue and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLead times run 5–6 weeks bespoke and 3–4 standard. The square end is drawn to a point to match the other, the blue is deepened, and the bar is cut in black marble. Bar length is chosen when the piece is ordered, and the curl itself is run at other spans to sit along it. A bar cut nearer the curl's own length brings the piece back to conventional proportions and is offered where the run is not available. Cutting the square end to a point makes the curl symmetric, which is a calmer and much less interesting object. Two crates, one for the stone and one for the casting, and the long bar is always carried level, with hands under both ends. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA curl on a long bar is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; the flat blue is cast into \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e; and a run of stone this long is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e console work.\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 10cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Blue Resin on Pale Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54077561012571,"sku":"H275","price":5196.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H275.jpg?v=1791979314","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-thick-curl-marble-bar-resin-sculpture-160cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
