She has no antlers and there is very little detail anywhere on her: the form is smooth and simple. What the piece is about is the colour, an iridescent grade that begins as a deep red at the head, runs through amber and gold down the neck and a green across the barrel, and finishes as a clear blue across the whole of the hindquarters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Animal Whose Whole Subject Is Its Colour\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith no antlers and almost no modelling, the grade has nothing to compete with and every fault in it is the whole fault. On the stags a wide rack carries the eye and a slight unevenness in the middle of the body goes unnoticed; here the barrel is a wide unbroken area and it is exactly where the green sits. So the transition through the middle is worked more slowly than it is on a detailed piece, and each animal is stood beside the last one finished and compared along the flank rather than checked at the ends. A body this plain is also polished to a higher grade than a busier one, since there is nothing on the surface to hide a swirl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA plain standing animal in a strong colour is a piece of furniture as much as a sculpture: it holds a corner, an alcove or a hearth on its own and does not want company. At 66cm it works on the floor or on a low chest. Cool light is what keeps the grade honest - daylight, or a lamp at the cooler end - because a warm bulb takes the blue out and leaves an amber animal. Against a white wall the whole length of the grade reads at once, which is the view to give it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrade Direction, Scale and Placing It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce ordered, a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke one 5–6. The grade can be reversed so the blue is at the head, held to a single colour, or replaced by a plain clear body. Other grades are made: a rose running into gold, a green running into blue, and one held entirely in greys. The same doe is made grazing with the head down, and stags with antlers are made to match at several heights. She can be made at another scale, and two or more bought at once are finished together so their grades match. She stands in a fitted crate with the legs braced and needs no assembly; two people should place her, taking the weight under the chest and the haunches. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA doe in mid-stride in graded colour belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a plain smooth body leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and red passing through green to blue joins 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\u003e65cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66cm\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin with an Iridescent Graded Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54018542076251,"sku":"R172","price":3375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R172.jpg?v=1791309919","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/multi-colour-graded-standing-doe-resin-sculpture-66cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
