The leading animals are carved so far off the ground that their front legs stand clear in the air, while the rank behind them is held progressively shallower. The wave field forms the foot of the same panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHorse Wall Art Carved Nearly Free of Its Back Plane\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrading the depth is the difficult part. The leading horses are worked almost to full round, the rank behind them is compressed into half that thickness, and the rearmost are little more than modelled shadow, yet all eight stay attached to one back plane and read as a single charge. The marble is a warm cream with clear grey veining and a fine crazing across the flanks, finished to a satin sheen that follows the muscle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA panel of this scale wants a wall with nothing else on it: a double-height hall, a stair landing, a formal reception room, a hotel lobby or a covered courtyard. It reads best from several metres back, where the leading horses lift away from the rank behind them, and it takes light raking from one side far better than a flat wash from the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFixing a Two-Metre Marble Panel to the Wall\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTen weeks. Eight animals off one plane means each horse has to be freed without cutting away the stone that holds the one behind it, and the order of cuts cannot be changed once it has started. The width is made to your wall and the wave field can run further out to either side. The count of horses is fixed by the composition. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. It comes in near 1,079kg, crated flat, and at that weight it needs an engineered fixing into structural masonry rather than plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore animals are under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-art\"\u003eanimal wall art\u003c\/a\u003e, with the largest panels in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wall-sculptures\"\u003ewall 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\u003e200cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-Carved 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":53815686889819,"sku":"MST-REL-019","price":30611.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/MST-REL-019_1.jpg?v=1787053643","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/eight-horses-over-waves-cream-marble-relief-wall-art-200cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
