{"product_id":"grey-and-teal-crowned-upright-resin-sculpture-150cm","title":"Grey \u0026 Teal Crowned Upright Resin Sculpture - 150cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tall narrow body rising to a rounded, lobed crown, with a skirt drawn out behind it and swept away from the foot. Grey and teal are drawn up through white, gathering at the lobed crown and thinning through the skirt. A small marble block is supplied, and almost the whole height is the casting itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNarrow on Purpose\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlenderness is the whole subject here: everything is drawn to make the body look narrower than it has to be to stand. The crown is wider than anything below it and the skirt reaches further back than the foot does, so the piece is heavy at both ends of a very thin middle and looks less stable than it is. The whole of it stands on a footprint the size of a side plate, and a clear body is the only way to make that look effortless rather than precarious. Polished on every face, and the lobed crown is where a poor polish would show first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hall, a landing or a wide window bay, with clear air around the skirt. A plain wall behind it, because the skirt is nearly transparent along its trailing edge and takes up whatever is there. A lamp behind it fills the crown; light from the front leaves it grey. The outline reads as a figure from any distance and refuses to be one up close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Fuller Crown, and Getting It Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce ordered, a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke one 5–6. The crown is made fuller, the teal is carried further down, and a deeper block is cut. Give the crown more body and the block is deepened under it, or the whole thing goes top-heavy. The crown and the skirt are the two things a change would touch, and either of them moving means the block under the foot moves with it. Block first, levelled, then the casting lowered onto it and left unfixed. Two people at this height, both hands low on the body. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA slender upright rising to a lobed crown belongs to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the grey and teal casting sits with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and more for a window bay is in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor 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\u003e142cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 25 x 8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin Graded Grey and Teal on 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":54102708650331,"sku":"Z371","price":5198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z371.jpg?v=1790772326","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/grey-and-teal-crowned-upright-resin-sculpture-150cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
