The acrylic is dichroic, so its colour depends on where it is seen from: aqua and cyan fill most of the planes, while others turn amber, rose, lime or a pale yellow, and every one of them shifts as you move. The edges between the facets show as fine bright lines, and the polished base mirrors the colour at its foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBroad Planes, Moving Colour and a Deliberate Lean\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo things have to be right for a block like this to work. The first is the planes. They are few and large, each one flat and turned to its own angle, so that every plane gives back a different colour and the edges between them stay crisp enough to read from across a room; a finer cut would scatter the colour into glitter, where broad facets keep it in whole fields that change as you walk. The second is the lean. The body tilts away from upright, but its foot is a flat face sitting square on the base, so the angle belongs to the form and the block stands steady.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a floor piece that needs space round it: the end of a long hall, a reception, a gallery bay or the corner of a large room, set where people come at it from more than one side. Its colours only move when the viewer does, so a spot that is circled suits it better than a recess. Light it from two directions rather than with one flat wash, keep the wall behind it plain and darker than the block, and give the base a hard, level floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFacet Plan, Colour Range and Two People to Lift\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe standard build is 3–4 weeks and the bespoke build 5–6. Three things are settled with a commission: the facet plan, which can be cut finer or kept as broad as this; the colour range, warmer with more amber and rose or cooler with more blue and violet; and the base, which can be made in white or grey instead of black. The block can also be drawn slimmer and more upright. The block and the base are lifted apart: two people take the block with their hands under its broadest lower planes, never by the point, and the base is set level first. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA leaning block of dichroic planes raised on glossy black is placed with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric 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\u003e135cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e–\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e88cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e155 x 140 x 8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDichroic Acrylic on a Black Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54413531545947,"sku":"C043","price":8933.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C043.jpg?v=1792416200","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/multi-colour-faceted-monolith-acrylic-sculpture-on-black-base-155cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
