{"product_id":"clear-and-blue-topped-curling-splash-resin-sculpture-81cm","title":"Clear \u0026 Blue-Topped Curling Splash Resin Sculpture - 81cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this cast resin splash the colour is kept for the top. The basin at the foot, its ring of jagged crown points and the long spray reaching out to one side are colourless, while a cool sky blue enters part way up the curling wall and runs on through the twisted band, the loop above it and both of its upright points. Beneath the band a slender clear arch stands in the basin, so the blue seems to hover over water that has no colour of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Colourless Basin With Blue Carried Overhead\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere the usual order of a splash is turned upside down. Colour normally sinks to where a wave is deepest, at its foot; in this piece the foot is left water-clear and the blue appears only where the wall starts to curl, gathering strength as it travels into the band. Where the ribbons of the band twist across one another the blue doubles into a deeper tone, and where they open out it fades to the paleness of a winter sky, so the knot reads in shades of one colour rather than as a tangle. The loop and its points carry the same blue to the very top, which is what gives the upper half its weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the colour sits high, it wants a place where the top half is seen against a plain, pale wall. Standing 81cm, it brings the blue loop up towards eye level when set on a low plinth or a broad console, and the colourless basin then reads almost as a pool on the surface. A white or stone-coloured wall keeps the band's blues distinct, where a busy paper behind it would swallow them, and daylight from one side picks out the twist of the band most clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere the Blue Begins, the Reach and the Crate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. The point where the blue begins can be moved, further down the wall for a heavier top or up into the band for a lighter one, and the blue itself can be made deeper or paler. The reach of the spray and the opening of the loop are drawn to order, and the splash can be made at whatever scale a room calls for. It travels upright in a foam-lined crate with the loop and its points braced, and it needs no assembling: lift it by the basin, never by the band or the loop, and set it down where it is to stand. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue gathered overhead above a colourless foot makes this splash one of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, sits it among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and keeps it with 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\u003e81cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e64cm\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear and Blue 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":54334873010523,"sku":"L002-2","price":2569.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/L002__2.jpg?v=1791822162","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-and-blue-topped-curling-splash-resin-sculpture-81cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
