The three front ranges are a strong green with the colour drawn in fine vertical strokes down each face, so they read as wooded slopes; behind them grey peaks stand at many depths, two of them a darker grey, and the tallest summit is carried up above its neighbours at the centre. Its tray is no plain box either: the top edge is cut to a ragged profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDrawing a Set of Skylines That Do Not Collide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this many panels the work is not in any one skyline but in the set of them, and the rule that governs it is that no two summits may coincide. A peak that sits directly behind another peak is a wasted panel: it contributes nothing to the profile and the piece has carried the cost of cutting it. So the skylines are drawn together rather than one at a time, and each is adjusted until its high points fall into the gaps left by the ones in front. That is also what sets the spacing. Panels far apart give strong shadows and a stagey depth; panels close together read as one mass. The value ladder from green through the darker greys to the light ones then does the rest of the work, and it only holds because the profiles step clear of each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong and fairly low, what this needs is an uninterrupted surface met square on: a sideboard, the top of a low cabinet or a wide shelf. From either end it collapses into a stack of thin sheets and the whole point of it disappears, so it should not be set where people mostly pass it sideways. This one has to be lit from in front and slightly above. Lit that way each panel drops its shadow across the range behind it and the depth accumulates, where a light at its back reduces every panel to a silhouette and the green and the greys become one dark ridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePanels, the Tray and How It Is Carried\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOurs is a 3–4 week build as standard, and a 5–6 week build when the commission is bespoke. Panel count, spacing and each skyline are drawn per piece, so a range of five where the surface is narrow, a set of fourteen with deeper recession, or a version worked as a single wide valley rather than a row of peaks are all available. The colour is decided with the order: this green and grey, a monochrome set in greys alone, a warm ochre, or clear panels that read as ice. Black timber is the standard for the tray and pale oak the alternative, and its sides can be run deeper so the gaps open out. It is carried by the tray, with both hands beneath it and none on a panel. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMountains in flat planes are \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e before they are landscape, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e in every panel, and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e because brushed colour and weather do not agree.\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\u003e52cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrushed Green Acrylic Panel on Wood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54024182989147,"sku":"C165","price":3874.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C165.jpg?v=1792017183","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/green-and-grey-layered-mountain-acrylic-sculpture-90cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
