Every face is flat and vertical, and then the top is cut off on a steep slant, which turns the cap from a rectangle into a long lozenge and gives the whole thing a direction. The body is dichroic: a pale lavender-blue holds the broad face, the narrow one runs yellow and green through its middle and deepens to amber at the foot, and the slanted cap returns a deep rust-amber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Cut Decides the Whole Object\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn an object this plain the single slanted cut carries everything, and it is also the hardest surface on the piece. It is the one plane that is not upright, it sits nearest the eye when you stand close, and it is cut across the block at an angle rather than square, so there is nothing to reference it against except the drawing. It is worked flat and then polished to the same grade as the vertical faces, which is more demanding than it sounds: a slight difference in polish between the cap and the sides shows as a change of colour rather than of finish, because the coating returns what is under it. The four vertical corners are left crisp so the column reads as cut and not moulded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 157cm it rises above shoulder height, so it is floor work that wants a place of its own: the far end of a hall, the turn of a stair, a recess beside a full-height window, or the corner of a room with two walls meeting behind it. The slant should be turned towards the way people arrive, since that cut is the composition and from behind the column is just a column. Light from the side and above is what moves the coating; a downlight directly over it finds the cap and leaves the body flat. It needs a hard level floor rather than a rug, because a vertical this tall reports any lean immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHeight, Coating and Getting It Upright\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan for 3–4 weeks on a standard piece and 5–6 weeks on a bespoke commission. The angle of the cut is drawn per piece and it is the main thing worth changing: steeper for more drama, shallower for a quieter column, or square across for no slant at all. The coating comes as this run of lavender-blue and amber, a single shift, a green, or clear for a plain prism. The plan can be square rather than rectangular and the height runs both ways, down to a desk piece and up to something that needs two people. It is kept upright whenever it is moved, carried low with hands under the shoulders of the block and never taken by the cap. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tall dichroic prism with its top cut away on a steep slant stands with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acrylic-sculptures\"\u003eacrylic 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\u003e157cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35cm\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":54023522550107,"sku":"C059","price":5369.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C059.jpg?v=1792010841","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/multi-colour-slant-cut-prism-acrylic-sculpture-157cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
