{"product_id":"blue-tiled-splash-cast-resin-sculpture-82cm","title":"Blue Tiled Splash Cast Resin Sculpture - 82cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cast resin sculpture that rises as a column, widens at its shoulders and breaks at the top into three points of different heights: two rounded lobes rising high and a low mound between them. Every surface of it is built from small flat tiles laid in courses like brickwork, with each tile's end left standing proud of the one beside it, so there is no smooth face anywhere: the whole object is a field of little rectangles catching separate highlights. The tiles are a pale blue, paling almost to white over the lobes and the mound, and the proud tile ends read as white where the light hits them. It stands on a round disc of deep blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTile Ends Left Standing Proud\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilding a curved form out of flat tiles means the courses cannot simply be stacked: each one has to follow the round of the column, and the offsets between courses are staggered deliberately rather than left to fall where they will. That stagger is what stops the eye finding a vertical seam running up the piece. Where the form breaks into its three points the courses have to split and continue independently, which is the passage that decides whether the three read as one gesture or as three separate objects. The proud ends stand out by differing amounts, so the outline steps in and out instead of running as a smooth line, and every step catches a highlight of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 82cm, tall and narrow, it fits places a broad piece cannot: a hall console, a pier between two windows, the corner of a landing, or the top of a low bookcase where its full height is clear of anything above. It should have room over it. A shelf close above the three points ruins the gesture. Light from the side is what the tiled surface is for, since it turns every proud end into its own highlight and the whole piece begins to sparkle; overhead light finds the tops of the courses only and the form goes flat. It reads best against a plain dark wall, where the pale blue lifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTiles, Height and Lifting It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks where the commission is bespoke. The tile size, the height and the number of points are all drawn per piece, so a broader form with a single crest or a high one with five points are both available from this construction. Colour runs to order in this pale blue, a green, an amber or a colourless body where the tiling alone does the work. Sizes run up to pieces made for a stair well. It is lifted around the body of the column with both hands, never by one of its points. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA field of small tiles resolving into one gesture is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e, the tiles are cast, which is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e, and the joints stay tight in the conditions \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e expects.\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\u003e82cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTiled Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54022609240411,"sku":"C160","price":5913.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C160.jpg?v=1792017168","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-tiled-splash-cast-resin-sculpture-82cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
