Its forelegs are extended, its head is up and forward, and the whole animal runs horizontally along the top of the block it rests on. The block is clear resin filled with gold leaf and it is deep, so the piece is made of two shapes pulling against each other: a long low animal above an upright mass. The dog itself is clear, polished, and lightly flecked with gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Horizontal Animal on an Upright Block\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo shapes that disagree have to be reconciled at the one place they meet, and the seat is where all the decisions are. The animal is longer than the block is wide, so it overhangs at the front, and how far it does so is set by eye with the piece standing: a little and the dog looks stranded, too much and the block looks inadequate. The overhanging chest is also the part most easily knocked, so it is given a full section underneath rather than being modelled thin for the look of it. Inside the block the leaf runs from the top face to the foot, so the block glitters at every depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA recumbent animal reads along its length, so this wants to be seen from the side and it should be set parallel to the front of whatever it stands on rather than facing out. Shelves suit it, and so does a windowsill, where the light comes across the length of the animal. Keep the overhanging end clear of anything it might catch. A pale wall behind shows the clear body as an outline; a dark one lets the clear block almost vanish, so the dog seems to lie on a field of gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProportion, the Leaf Inside It and Handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCount on the difference between standard and bespoke: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. The proportion between animal and block is open, so a shallow pad or a deeper mass are both made, and the leaf runs from dense to a few drifts in gold, silver or copper. The block can be tinted near black, amber or smoke instead of clear, and the dog can be tinted or frosted rather than left clear and polished. A seated dog on the same kind of block can be set beside it, and this price is for one animal. Any scale is cut to order. Animal and block travel boxed and sleeved together, and the piece is lifted under the block rather than by the animal. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dog lying along the top of its block belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; forelegs stretched and head raised lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figurative-sculptures\"\u003efigurative sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a block glittering with gilt flakes 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\u003e14cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.5 x 11 x 15.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear Cast Resin with Gold Leaf\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54017627980123,"sku":"R111","price":1889.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R111.jpg?v=1791308350","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-recumbent-dog-on-gold-flecked-resin-block-30cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
