{"product_id":"grey-and-white-marbled-windblown-figure-sculpture-66cm","title":"Grey \u0026 White Marbled Windblown Figure Sculpture - 66cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA windblown figure standing tall and straight, the skirt gathered close and the flare opening directly above, on dark stone. Grey and white marbled through one another, with no other colour anywhere in the body. The black marble block beneath it is part of the piece, and the figure travels on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNo Colour to Fall Back On\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe only one of the family with no colour in it at all, which makes it the version that can go anywhere and the one that asks most of its polish. With no colour anywhere in the body the piece has nothing to distract from its surface, so every flaw in the polish is visible and the marbling has to carry the whole of the interest on its own. With nothing but grey and white in the material, the way one moves through the other is the only thing on the piece there is to look at. Polished to a gloss, which is what separates the grey from the white; a matt surface would average them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits a study, a bookshelf or a desk, where a quiet piece is wanted. Any plain ground of any tone will do behind it, which is not true of the rest of the family. It takes almost any light. Directional light sharpens the marbling and diffuse light softens it, and both work. It reads as a figure at distance and as a pattern close to, and neither reading interferes with the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIntroducing a Colour, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom order, a standard piece runs to 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission to 5–6. A tint can be introduced, the marbling can be run coarser, and other heights are made. Add a tint and the piece becomes something other than a study in one colour, which is the only claim this version makes. A tint can be introduced and it changes the character entirely rather than adding to it: the moment there is a colour in the body, the movement of grey through white stops being the subject and becomes a background to it. One crate, arriving on its stone. One person lifting at the block. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA windblown figure marbled in grey and white alone suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the quiet, colourless casting fits with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and more marbled figures are in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 x 15 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin Marbled Grey and White 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":54111575802203,"sku":"Z253","price":2026.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z253.jpg?v=1790770428","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/grey-and-white-marbled-windblown-figure-sculpture-66cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
