One deep blue holds the whole body with no graduation in it, so the figure is read by its outline alone. The black block comes with it and carries the figure on a single point of contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Figure Read as Mass\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe same figure made opaque stops being a claim about balance and becomes one about mass. Take the transparency away and the pose has to carry the whole piece on its own, so the angle of the hat and the line of the trailing skirt are doing work here that colour does on the other two. An opaque body has to be sound right the way through, because the colour gives a flaw nowhere to hide behind. Matt throughout, so the figure is read as a solid rather than as something light passes into.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hallway or a landing, where it can be seen against a wall rather than in a window. It asks very little of the wall, and a dark ground or a patterned one will do it no harm at all. Soft light suits it. A hard source picks out the matt surface as texture and the figure stops reading as one mass. The outline does all the work at a distance, and there is nothing else to find close to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePolishing It Out, and Getting It There\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet aside 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. The blue is lightened, the matt is polished out, and the skirt is drawn further behind the foot. Polish it and the blue has to be lightened, since a gloss surface returns less of the body than a matt one does. A second version is made glossy in blue and clear, and it stands as a different object at the same height. Two parts, one crate, and nothing to fix once the block is down. One person, and the waist is the place to take hold of it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore figures made for a landing or a hallway are in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, while opaque, single-colour castings sit among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e97cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatt Blue Cast Resin on Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54101659451739,"sku":"Z011","price":2767.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z011.jpg?v=1790759361","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/matt-blue-hatted-lady-figure-resin-sculpture-103cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
