A single deep red, flat across the whole slab, with no grading anywhere in it. The clear plinth is part of the casting and no separate base is supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Plane With Nothing Holding It Up\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA plane of flat colour held up by something invisible is a simple idea that only works if the support is truly colourless, which is the whole of the difficulty. The whole piece is one idea and it works or it does not: a plane of flat colour appearing to hold itself in the air. Everything that would give the support away, a tint in it, a visible join, a heavier section, has been kept out. Red at this depth in a solid casting stops light almost completely, so the slab reads as an opaque plane while the clear plinth under it disappears. Mirror polished on both faces of the slab so the red returns a clean reflection rather than a soft one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hall table or a narrow console where one strong plane is wanted and there is no room for width. A pale wall. The whole idea is a red plane floating, and a dark ground takes the float away. Front light keeps the red even. Light from behind finds the plinth and gives the trick away. From the doorway the red plane is all there is to see, and the plinth arrives only as you come closer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrading the Red, and Getting It There\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs standard the build runs 3–4 weeks, and as a bespoke commission 5–6. The red can be graded toward the top, the angle of the lean can open, and the plinth can be tinted to make the support explicit. Add a tint to the plinth and the piece becomes two objects, because the whole argument rests on one of them being invisible. One crate. The slab is packed with its full face supported. One person. Take it by the plinth and let the slab stay where it is. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single red plane held off a colourless upright finds its place in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the floating slab suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the red and clear casting belongs with 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\u003e53cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin in Red and Clear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54110887608667,"sku":"Z045","price":2700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z045-2.jpg?v=1790766945","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/red-leaning-slab-on-clear-plinth-resin-sculpture-53cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
