{"product_id":"clear-arched-abstract-resin-sculpture-173cm","title":"Clear Arched Abstract Resin Sculpture - 173cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn arched upright in clear cast resin, the fin and the flare of the design drawn out across the arch. There is no pigment in it at all; the arch borrows its tone from the room behind it and its edges from the light. A black plinth is supplied, and the piece stands on it on the whole splay of its foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Arch With No Colour of Its Own\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoubly curved and polished on every face, the arch has no flat anywhere, so its edges gather the light into bright lines while the body between them stays pale. A colourless casting at this size has to come out free of cloud from foot to fin, because in clear resin any flaw shows at once, and that is the whole difficulty of the piece. The fin and the flare are drawn thin, which keeps the outline light for so large a form. Polished everywhere, including the inside of the flare where very little of it will ever be seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn entrance hall or the end of a long gallery. It needs space more than it needs height, and a plain, darker wall behind it so the edges of the arch have something to read against. Side light suits it best, running along the fin and the flare; flat, even light leaves a colourless body grey. From a long way off it is a bright outline, and the fin and the flare only separate as you come closer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOpening the Arch, a Tint, and a Pale Plinth\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether it is standard or bespoke sets the build: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. The arch is opened further, a tint is carried through the body, and pale stone is cut for the plinth. Open the arch and the plinth is deepened, because the piece already reaches well past its own footprint. Plinth and casting arrive on separate pallets and are married on site. The casting is kept wrapped until the rest of the work is done. Two people at least, gloved, and the flare is not a handhold. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArched and swept forms for a gallery or an entrance continue in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and more colourless castings of this kind are found in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and 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\u003e143cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e102cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65 x 50 x 30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Cast Resin on Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54101662007643,"sku":"Z017","price":6682.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z017.jpg?v=1790875479","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-arched-abstract-resin-sculpture-173cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
