Deep blue holds the shoulders and drains down the body until the hem is colourless. A black marble block is supplied, cut to the footprint of the torso rather than square, with a fine gold line inlaid across it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Figure With Nothing to Read but the Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA torso has no face and no hands to carry the expression, so all of it has to be in the stance and the outline. Turning the figure away is the whole decision: a torso seen from behind cannot be read as a portrait, so the piece stays an object about a shape rather than about a person. A body with no arms, no head and no detail has only its outline and its depth of colour, and both have to be right at every point. Polished over the whole surface, with nothing textured anywhere on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hall, a landing or a bedroom, seen from behind as it is drawn to be. A plain wall. The colourless half at the hem takes up whatever is behind it and holds it. Light from above gathers in the shoulders and drains out of the hem, following the colour down. The silhouette carries from any distance and the graduation begins at about four paces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCarrying the Blue Further Down, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt takes 3–4 weeks to make as standard, and 5–6 weeks to make bespoke. The blue is carried further down, a second colour is run into the hem, and a deeper block is cut. Carry the blue further down and the shoulders have to be deepened with it, or the top of the figure loses its weight. Block down and levelled first, then the torso lowered onto it and left unfixed. Two people. Take it under the hips, and the shoulders carry nothing. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA blue torso turned away from the room stands in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; its unbroken outline sits with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a body clearing toward the hem joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e140.6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41.6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41.6 x 19.5 x 20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin Graded Blue to Clear on Natural Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54104275386715,"sku":"Z591","price":3844.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z591_5a2df2c2-bba3-4816-9f2e-c42dd0e800b1.jpg?v=1791461075","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-to-clear-standing-torso-resin-sculpture-161cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
