{"product_id":"green-fluted-teardrop-resin-sculpture-50cm","title":"Green Fluted Teardrop Resin Sculpture - 50cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis resin sculpture is one form in two attitudes, with one of them supplied per order. The standing one is a broad rounded body drawn up to a fine tip that curls over at the top. The lying one is the same motif on its side, with the tip rising and curling at one end. Both are a deep bottle green, glossy and almost clear at the tip, and both are finely fluted round the foot of the body like the grooves of a shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Fine Curling Tip Above a Fluted Foot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two treatments of the surface are what make this work. Most of the body is a smooth unbroken curve with nothing on it, so it holds one long highlight and reads as a single swelling volume. Then the last third before the ground breaks into close vertical flutes, dozens of them, each one shallow, which stops the mass sitting flat and gives the foot a texture the eye can measure the size against. The tip does the opposite: it draws out of the smooth part of the body, thins to something close to a needle, and curls back over, so a heavy form ends in a line. Green is carried in the material and deepens with the mass, so the thin tip is almost clear and the widest part of the body is nearly black. Every tip is drawn by hand and none of them curls the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth versions are surface pieces and want a clear ground. At 50cm the upright suits a console, a sideboard, a hall table or a wide shelf and reads at seated eye level, which is where the tip registers. The recumbent version is a desk, shelf or coffee table object, seen best from above so that the curl and the flutes are both in view. Neither wants anything standing close to it: the tip is a fine element and it disappears against a busy background, so a plain wall behind and a hand's width of clear surface around is what they need. A pale ground lifts the green and a dark one loses it. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUpright or Recumbent, and the Green Behind Both\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReckon on 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke one. The two versions are separate objects at separate prices rather than one design at two sizes, so the picker is worth checking against the sizes above before ordering. They are made to be bought together as well as apart, and standing side by side they read as one piece and its echo. On the material: this bottle green is standard, and an amber, a smoke grey and a clear are all made, with the depth of colour adjustable so the whole body can be brought to the near-clear of the tip. The flutes can be run higher up the body or left off entirely for a plain foot. The upright version can also be made at a greater height to order, where the tip becomes considerably finer relative to the body. Either version is boxed standing, with the tip packed out in its own moulded pocket because it is the part that would suffer, and one person can carry both. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShapes like these appear in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, the teardrop lobe belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and bottle green resin clearing at the tip leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStanding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH50 x W47 x D15cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLying\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eH22 x W26 x D15cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupplied\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne Version Per Order\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Green Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Standing","offer_id":53956661117275,"sku":"X299-V1","price":2497.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lying","offer_id":53956661870939,"sku":"X299-V2","price":1889.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X299.jpg?v=1790959424","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/green-fluted-teardrop-resin-sculpture-50cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
