{"product_id":"magenta-and-yellow-split-edge-gem-acrylic-sculpture-100cm","title":"Magenta \u0026 Yellow Split-Edge Gem Acrylic Sculpture - 100cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA large faceted acrylic sculpture lying on its side, its long axis level, with a broad front of magenta faces running between two pointed ends. The film returns hot magenta right across that front, deepening to rose where the faces turn away and with orange moving inside it, and acid yellow on the faces that taper to the point at either end, so the colour is split by the upright edges where the one gives way to the other. A clear crown of faces runs along the top, and there are violet flashes in the deeper facets around the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMagenta One Side of the Edge, Yellow the Other\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the colour is split by an edge, that edge has to be dead straight for its whole length, and on a gem of this size that is a long way to hold a line on. The faces either side of it are worked together and not in sequence, because material taken off either of them moves the edge, and an edge that wanders at all over that length reads as a mistake rather than as a curve. That is why each cut is continuous: starting and restarting leaves a step, and a step here would sit on the very line everybody looks at. Brought to a crisp arris, the magenta front and the yellow point then meet as two colours with no third colour along the line between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA gem this broad belongs on the floor or a low plinth, and the magenta front and a yellow point have to be in view at once for an edge to divide anything, so it needs room in front of it: a hall return, the head of a stair, the far end of a long room, or a wide bay. Set it so the edges run upright as you face it, which is what makes the division read. Daylight crossing it is what it needs. A single spotlight in front flattens the magenta and the yellow into one orange and the edges disappear, which is the whole piece gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Continuous Cut, and Installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime separates the two: a bespoke commission takes 5–6 weeks, a standard piece 3–4. The one continuous cut along that edge paces the build, and it cannot be split across two sittings without leaving a step. Its scale and the angle between its faces are drawn for each commission, so the edges can be set running diagonally or the whole gem cut at gallery scale. The films are chosen at order: this magenta and yellow, a blue against a green, or one face left clear so the division is between colour and nothing. It is set down on its side as it lies, taken by the broad faces and never by a yellow point. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaid on its side with magenta across the front and yellow at each point, this gem sits among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and 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\u003e56cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e84cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDichroic Acrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54024447492443,"sku":"C046","price":4814.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C046.jpg?v=1792011250","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/magenta-and-yellow-split-edge-gem-acrylic-sculpture-100cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
