There are about ten of them, each caught mid-leap with the body arched and the tail still down, and they climb in size and height from the outside of each fan to the middle. All of it is clear resin. The group stands on a hexagonal plinth of black marble that makes up a third of the height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTen Fish Out of One Panel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTen fish out of one panel means ten joins that all have to disappear. Each fish leaves the panel at its own angle, and the material is continuous, so the work is in the transition rather than the fixing: the belly of each fish is carried into the dimpled surface over a couple of centimetres and the dimples are then re-cut across the join so the pattern reads as unbroken water. The fans are set out as a pair and cut to match each other, which is harder than it sounds - a fan of five is read as a rhythm, and one fish a few degrees out of sequence breaks the rhythm rather than adding to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe marble takes it to a hundred and seventeen, which is chest height on a standing adult, so it belongs on the floor of an entrance, a reception or a broad landing. It is a frontal piece and the fans close from the side, so set it square with clear wall behind. The marble is heavy and wants a solid floor. Light from the front or above fills every fish with its own highlight; a strong backlight turns the whole group into a grey silhouette and the dimpling disappears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Marble, the Group and Getting It Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce ordered, a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke one 5–6. The number of fish is settled at order, from six up to a dozen, and the two fans can be made as one wider fan for a wall-side piece. The resin takes an amber, a smoke or a green, and a frost is offered where a full polish is too much against dark stone. The plinth is made in this black marble, in a white marble or in steel, and its depth can be cut back where the height matters more. It arrives in two crates, the plinth and the group cased separately and joined on site. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFish leaping in two fanned arcs belong with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a panel dimpled like disturbed water leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and clear fish over black marble join our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e77cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e96.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e84.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e72.6 x 63.2 x 40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear Cast Resin 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":54020858675547,"sku":"R317","price":18969.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R317.jpg?v=1791316020","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-leaping-fish-group-on-a-marble-plinth-117cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
