{"product_id":"multi-colour-iconify-masked-resin-bust-40cm","title":"Multi-Colour Iconify Masked Resin Bust - 40cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a bust cut off square across the chest, and almost all of it is clothing. A blue jacket comes up to the throat with shallow marks worked into it and a black band running round the hem. Above that the chin and jaw are left bare and pale, and everything above the mouth is covered by a yellow mask with two narrow eye slits and no eyes behind them. A red brim sits over the mask carrying a row of black spikes. Nothing about the face is available to be read, which is the whole of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFour Colours That Meet Without Blending\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour flat colours meeting on one object is a harder finish than any gradient. Each has to stop exactly where the next begins, with no bleed and no lip, and the boundaries here are all on curves: the mask against the jaw, the brim against the mask, the hem against the jacket. The mask is the exacting one because it crosses the face at an angle and the eye is very good at seeing a line that wanders on a symmetrical surface. The spikes are the other slow passage. They are separate pieces standing clear of the brim, so each is set individually and then sighted along the row from the front, because one out of line is the only thing anybody will look at afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 40cm this sits at eye level on a shelf, a console or a cabinet top rather than on the floor, and it wants to be met from the front: the composition closes from any other angle and the mask stops working. Give it a plain background. Against a busy shelf the four colours have to compete with everything behind them and they lose. It does well beside books, where the flat blue reads as a block, and it does badly in a dim corner, where the yellow goes green.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Four Colours, the Spikes and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFigure the difference between standard and bespoke at 3–4 weeks against 5–6. Colour is settled at order: this red, yellow, blue and black set, a single colour throughout, or a metallic finish over the whole bust. The spikes can be left off the brim for a quieter object and the mask can be made in a contrasting material. Scale is open in both directions, from a desk piece to something well above head height. It arrives in one fitted crate with the spikes packed separately and pressed home on site; take the weight under the chest and never by the brim. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bust masked from brow to nose belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/iconify-sculptures\"\u003eIconify sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; flat colours that meet without blending lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and four strong colours in cast resin join 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\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.7cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin in Four Colours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020751851867,"sku":"R233","price":1754.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R233.jpg?v=1791312231","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/multi-colour-iconify-masked-resin-bust-40cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
