{"product_id":"red-twisted-blade-column-resin-sculpture-158cm","title":"Red Twisted Blade Column Resin Sculpture - 158cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA blade turning through its whole height, red at full strength from foot to point, on a block that lifts it clear of the floor. Red through the whole body at one strength, with no clearing anywhere and no second colour in it. A black block comes under it and is part of what is bought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColour Strong Enough to Read as Solid\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA saturated colour at full strength is the one treatment that makes a transparent material behave like a solid, and the twist is then a shape and not a depth. Every other column in this family lets the light through and is read as a depth. This one stops it, so the twist arrives as a change of outline rather than a change of tone, and the piece behaves at a distance the way a painted steel sculpture would. Red at full strength through a twisting body means the material is at its darkest where the blade turns edge-on, so the twist reads as a change of tone before it reads as a change of shape. Polished to a gloss throughout, which is what carries the red at a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePut it where a room turns a corner. A single saturated colour at this height is a destination rather than a companion. It wants a pale ground behind it. Red on a dark wall at this size closes up into a silhouette and loses the twist. Light from two sides keeps the whole height alive; a single source leaves the far face dead. It reads as a red line from the door and as a turning solid from three paces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAnother Colour Through It, and Getting It Upright\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork on a bespoke commission runs to 5–6 weeks, on a standard piece to 3–4. Another colour can be put through it, the twist can be opened, and it is made at other heights. Swap the red for a clearing colour and the twist is read from every angle at once, which is a quieter object at the same proportions. A single tall crate with the block at the foot of it, and the two are married up on site. Two people, taking an end each, and it is set down onto the block rather than slid onto it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA red blade twisting through its whole height stands in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; colour at this strength puts it beside our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the red carried right through joins it to 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\u003e140cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32cm\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\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 x 18 x 18cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast 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":54113485652315,"sku":"Z615","price":3375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z615.jpg?v=1790778372","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/red-twisted-blade-column-resin-sculpture-158cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
