{"product_id":"clear-ink-landscape-acrylic-column-sculpture-72cm","title":"Clear Ink Landscape Acrylic Column Sculpture - 72cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn acrylic sculpture built as a clear column, square in section, carrying an ink-wash landscape inside it rather than on it: pines on a bluff, a cliff falling away below them, a second stand of pines on a ledge to the left, and mist banked behind and above. The picture is seen through the clear acrylic in front of it, so it reads as a scene held within the column rather than printed on its face, worked in grey and black ink with a soft blue in the mist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Image Read Through Depth\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whole point of a piece like this is the clear body in front of the picture. A print on a face sits flat against the room; set inside a column, the same ink is seen through clear material, and the column's edges and faces frame it like a window. That only works if the acrylic is optically clean: a body this deep magnifies any inclusion, and a single bubble in front of the image is more distracting than one behind it. The faces are polished to the same clarity, so the column itself almost disappears and the landscape seems to float within it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 72cm this is an upright object for a sideboard or a broad console, placed so the image is met at eye level. It needs light from the front, which is unusual in this material: backlighting washes the ink out and reduces the picture to a grey smear, while frontal light holds the tones apart. Give it a plain pale surround. The picture is monochrome and a coloured wall behind it tints the whole column. It should also be somewhere steady, since it is meant to be looked at rather than handled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Image, the Section and Lifting It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaking a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks, and making a bespoke one 5–6. The image is chosen at order from the range available, and the column can also be supplied clear with no picture in it at all. Section and height are drawn per piece, so a wider column with more depth behind the image or a slimmer, higher one both come from this design, and a landscape format is made for a piece meant to sit rather than stand. It is lifted by the body with both hands, one of them under the foot, and never from the top. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn ink landscape of pines and mist held within a clear column, this column stands among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic 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\u003e72cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear Acrylic and Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54022612123995,"sku":"C278","price":2301.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C278.jpg?v=1792070324","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-ink-landscape-acrylic-column-sculpture-72cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
