{"product_id":"pink-graded-frosted-block-resin-sculpture-60cm","title":"Pink Graded Frosted Block Resin Sculpture - 60cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cast resin sculpture standing as a rectangular block, frosted and graded from almost white at the top down to a saturated magenta-pink at the foot. There is nothing else on it. No facet, no relief, no inclusion, no polish: the surface is matt throughout and the corners are square and unbroken, so the object is almost entirely the change of colour down its height. Through the frost a faint inner line shows just below the top edge and down each side, and the upright edges glow a deeper pink than the faces. Seen from any side the grade reads the same way, and from directly above the block is simply pale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Gradient and Nothing Else\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA grade with nothing to distract from it has to be right over the whole height, and that is the difficulty. On a faceted or textured piece the eye is busy and a band of colour slightly out of place goes unnoticed; here there is nothing else to look at, so any step or stall in the transition is the only thing anybody sees. In this block the grade runs evenly from a soft rose at the top to magenta at the foot, with no band anywhere along the way, and the upright edges carry the same grade a shade deeper. The frost is an even matt on every face, since an uneven matt looks like a change of colour and not of surface, and that would compete with the only thing happening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 60cm, a block of this colour is a punctuation mark, and it works where a room needs one: beside a pale chair, at the foot of a stair, or on the floor where a wall turns. It is happiest against a plain wall and a plain floor, since the point is one uninterrupted change and anything patterned behind it interrupts. Light from above suits it, running down the grade the way the grade runs; light from one side puts a bright face and a dark face on it and halves the effect. It is an indoor piece and the grade is at its best in even daylight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Grade, the Scale and Carrying It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom order, a standard piece runs to 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission to 5–6. The grade is the whole specification and it is drawn per piece: this white-to-magenta, a reversed run that darkens upward, a blue, an amber, a smoke, or a two-colour grade meeting in the middle. The block is made from a desk size up to seat height and beyond, and the proportion can be squared or drawn out into a column. A polished version is offered and behaves completely differently, since gloss reflects the room and the matt does not. Lift it with flat palms on two opposite faces, since a matt surface keeps the mark of a knuckle where a polished one would not. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA frosted block graded from rose to magenta, this cast piece belongs to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/geometric-sculptures\"\u003egeometric sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGraded Frosted Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54023524647259,"sku":"C319","price":3587.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/C319.jpg?v=1792077448","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/pink-graded-frosted-block-resin-sculpture-60cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
