{"product_id":"multi-colour-faceted-gem-acrylic-sculpture-38cm","title":"Multi-Colour Faceted Gem Acrylic Sculpture - 38cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA compact acrylic sculpture, nearly as deep and as wide as it is tall, faceted into something like eighteen planes. Its colours separate strongly: the broad plane low on the front is a saturated yellow, the left side runs red into magenta, the top planes are cyan and blue, and the rear edge goes violet. Because the faces are broad and few, each colour arrives as a solid block rather than a gradient, and the boundaries between them are hard lines. No single view shows more than about half of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEvery Plane a Different Colour\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this few faces the cut carries all the risk. A large plane shows any error across its whole width, so each is worked flat against a reference rather than by eye, and the polish has to be even from edge to edge or the coating over it reads as a cloud in the middle of an otherwise solid colour. The junctions are the other exacting passage. Three planes meeting at a corner have to arrive at one point, and on a translucent body a corner that misses by a fraction shows as a bright line running away from it. The coating is applied over the finished cut and is directional, so the piece is oriented deliberately before it goes on: which plane ends up yellow and which ends up violet is a decision made at that moment and cannot be adjusted afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is small enough to live at eye level and it should, on a mantel, a shelf, a desk or the top of a cabinet, where it can be reached and turned. Turning it is the reward, since the colours change completely as it moves. Set it clear of other objects rather than in a group, because it throws coloured light onto whatever is beside it and a white bowl next to it will not look white. A windowsill is the best place of all, with the obvious caution that direct summer sun through a south window is harsher than it looks and the piece is happier with bright indirect light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Cut, the Coating and What Arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCount on the difference between standard and bespoke: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. The colour set is specified at order: this full spread, a two-tone shift, a single colour, or an uncoated block that reads as clear glass. The cut is drawn per piece, so a form with fewer and broader planes or many small ones is available from the same starting block, and the proportions can be run high or squat. Sizes run up considerably from this one. It is lifted with a flat hand on each of two opposite planes, never by an edge, because the corners, where three planes arrive at one point, are the part of the cut that will not survive being knocked. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery face here is a separate decision, which puts it among \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e, inside \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculpture\u003c\/a\u003e, and on the sheltered side of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculpture\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\u003e36cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31cm\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":54022603145563,"sku":"C029","price":2165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C029.jpg?v=1792007433","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/multi-colour-faceted-gem-acrylic-sculpture-38cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
