The green is graded rather than flat: the upper layers are pale and frosted, almost white at the summits, and the colour thickens steadily downward until the two points meeting the base are a deep bottle green. Every layer edge is left visible, so the silhouette is stepped and the surface carries fine horizontal lines all the way round. It stands on a base of white marble with grey veining through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGreen That Deepens Towards the Waterline\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearly all of the work goes into the grading, and it is not a coat of colour. Each layer carries its own tint and the sequence is built so the change from one to the next is small enough to read as a gradient and not as a stripe, which means the layers are ordered before anything is cut and cannot be swapped afterwards. Because the form is a lens, the two halves are cut from the same drawing and then checked against each other: the eye finds a summit that does not agree with its own reflection faster than almost any other error. The frosted look at the summits is the cut edge left as it comes from the tool rather than polished, which is a decision and not an omission, since a polished summit would go transparent and the peak would disappear against the wall behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wants length rather than height: a sideboard, a low bookcase top or a hall console, with clear surface either side so the form is not crowded. Seen from the front it reads as landscape and from the end as a stack of layers, so it should not be placed where people mostly pass it sideways. Green is the tint most affected by what is behind it. Against a white wall it stays crisp and cool; against warm wood it turns olive. Daylight from the side is ideal and a single warm downlight is the one thing to avoid, since it kills the graded green and lights only the stepped edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTint, Proportion and What Comes in the Crate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the piece is standard the build is 3–4 weeks, and where it is bespoke 5–6. Tint, grading and profile are all specified at order: this green reading dark at the base, a blue or an amber in its place, a reversed grading that goes pale downward, or an untinted stack. The count and spacing of the summits is drawn for each piece, and the mirrored underside is optional. The base is offered in white marble, black marble or a dark timber, and its footprint is sized to the range rather than being a standard block. Lift it with a hand under each end of the body and never by a summit, which is a single layer thick at the tip. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBands of colour standing in for distance is what makes this \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e, the stack behind it is what \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e is for, and the tint stays true where \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e lives.\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\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLayered Green Acrylic on White Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54022602195291,"sku":"C015","price":6593.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C015.jpg?v=1792004493","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/green-layered-mountain-range-acrylic-sculpture-120cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
