{"product_id":"red-engraved-column-resin-sculpture-50cm","title":"Red Engraved Column Resin Sculpture - 50cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA square column in red, its four faces alternating between plain polished ground and panels cut with an engraved figure. Red through the whole body, deepening where the engraving cuts into it and palest across the plain faces. Nothing is supplied underneath. The foot is cut flat and the column stands on the shelf itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Drawing Made by Taking Material Away\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMachining a block rather than casting one is what lets a plain face and a cut panel sit on the same object, since both are that one body worked to two different depths. The panels are set on alternate faces so the column is never plain on two sides at once. Engraving a tinted body removes material rather than adding anything, so every cut line reads paler than the face around it and the drawing is made of absence. The plain faces are polished and the engraved panels are left as cut, so one column carries two surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA desk or a study shelf suits it, at the distance from which the engraving is actually legible. A pale ground at its back. Red against a dark wall closes the engraving up completely. Light raking across the panels is what fills the cut lines; light square onto them shows almost nothing. It reads as a red column from the door and becomes a drawing at arm's length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eEngraving the Whole Column, and Nothing to Assemble\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost pieces are standard and take 3–4 weeks; a bespoke commission takes 5–6. Say the word and the engraving is carried round the whole column, the red is exchanged, or the piece is cut at another height. Carry the engraving round and the plain faces disappear, so the contrast the piece is built on goes with them. One crate and nothing to assemble at all. One person. It is dense for its size and that is all there is to know. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA red column engraved on alternate faces stands in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; its straight edges and flat panels suit our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the machined body 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\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachined Clear Red Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54145036026203,"sku":"Z445","price":2767.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z445.jpg?v=1790774114","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/red-engraved-column-resin-sculpture-50cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
