There is no gold leaf and no tint: the resin is entirely colourless, so what you see is the set of cut planes catching light and the edges between them drawing the form. Wider at the shoulder than at the base, it stands on a small ground foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eArms Hewn Back Into the Mass of the Body\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith no leaf and no colour, the planes are the whole piece, and that raises the standard on every one of them. A facet left with a tool mark in it goes grey and reads as a flaw rather than a texture, so each face is flatted and then polished to the same grade, including the ones that will end up against a wall. The edges are the other half of the work: they are the only lines in the object, and a sharp arris in clear resin reads bright against the faces either side of it, which is what makes a colourless piece visible at all. The forward lean is set by grinding the foot off square, found on the finished piece rather than moulded in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA colourless piece disappears against a pale surface, which is the one thing worth knowing before choosing a spot: on white it becomes an outline, on a dark timber or a stone surface it lifts straight out. The forward lean gives it a front, so turn the lean into the room. It belongs on a shelf, a desk or a windowsill instead of the floor, and it works as the quiet member of a group beside the gold-flecked ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlane Depth, Tint and Where a Colourless Piece Disappears\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks, and making a bespoke one 5–6. A tint through the body is offered in a smoke, an amber, a green or a soft blue, and gold, silver or copper leaf can be set into the casting if the plain version is too quiet. Plane depth is open, from these broad faces to a finer cut closer to a modelled figure, and the lean angle is set at order. Scale is cut to order. Pieces ordered together are poured in one batch. It travels boxed and sleeved and is a one-person carry with nothing to assemble. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA torso leaning forward with its arms hewn into the body belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classic-sculptures\"\u003eclassic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; planes catching light at their edges lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and colourless resin with no leaf 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\u003e24cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear 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":54017124368731,"sku":"R041","price":1417.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R041.jpg?v=1791305422","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-forward-leaning-torso-cast-resin-sculpture-26cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
