{"product_id":"cyan-and-magenta-leaning-gem-acrylic-sculpture-42cm","title":"Cyan \u0026 Magenta Leaning Gem Acrylic Sculpture - 42cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA broad low acrylic sculpture leaning back on its own foot, cut into very few faces, each one broad enough that it holds a colour across its full width. Cyan crosses the middle of the piece, magenta gathers along one edge, a deep blue lies across the upper face on the other side, and there is a pale gold at the foot where the material meets the surface. The lean is part of the cut rather than an accident of how it stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow Much of It Is One Colour\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting a small block into very few faces is a decision about how much of the piece is one colour, and here the answer is most of it. That is a harder thing to bring off than it sounds. A face that carries a single hue across half the object has nowhere to hide: it has to be flat, its film has to be even end to end, and its angle has to be right first time, because there is no neighbouring plane to distract from it. Cut the same block into twenty faces and every one of those problems becomes twenty small problems, each of which matters less. The lean follows from the same logic: leaning the block presents the broad face to the room at an angle that returns cyan rather than the pale gold it would give standing upright, so the resting face is cut to produce the colour, not just to hold the piece up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 42cm this is shelf, desk and cabinet-top work. Because it leans back it wants to be seen from in front and slightly below rather than looked down on: a shelf at chest height, a low cabinet top or a console suit it better than a desk you stand over. The broad cyan face is what there is to see, so it should face into the room. Even, general light is enough here - a single hard source puts a bright patch in the middle of a large flat face, which is the one thing that spoils it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Resting Face, and What Arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce ordered, a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke one 5–6. The resting face paces this build: it is cut last, the lean of the whole piece follows from it, and it decides which hue the broad face returns. How many faces, how far it leans and which film go on the order: upright instead of leaning, or many more faces for a shimmer. Between films the choice is cyan and magenta as here, green-to-amber, or a pastel. Both hands go flat on two broad faces to lift it, and it is turned to front the room. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew faces and very broad ones make this more block than gem: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e for the cut, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e for the body, and the shelter of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\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\u003e42cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDichroic Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54024447721819,"sku":"C053","price":2243.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C053.jpg?v=1792011294","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/cyan-and-magenta-leaning-gem-acrylic-sculpture-42cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
