That arm encloses a gap, so the piece is not a solid mass but a form with a window through the middle of it, and the window changes shape as you walk round. The whole surface is worked in broad frosted planes rather than modelled, and it stands on a block of black stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Arm Swept Across the Chest, and the Window It Leaves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA frosted surface is the least forgiving finish a plane can carry. There is no gloss to bounce the eye off it, so every face has to be flatted to the same grade and every arris between two faces has to be dead straight, including the faces that end up against a wall. Where the arm crosses the chest the two masses come within a few centimetres of each other and the abrasive that suits an open face will not reach into that gap, so the inside edges of the window are cut with narrower tools and take longer than the rest of the figure put together. The stone block is a separate piece of material, dressed flat on top so the resin foot beds down on it without rocking, and it is pinned rather than glued.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 43cm it is made for a console, a sideboard or a broad shelf, off the floor, and it needs to be approached from the side the arm crosses towards, since that is the view where the window opens widest. Give it a dark ground: on a pale wall a frosted body loses its arrises and flattens into a silhouette, while against timber or a deep paint every plane comes back. It sits comfortably in a hall where people pass it at different angles rather than sit in front of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrost or Polish, the Block, and Getting It Onto the Table\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOurs is a 3–4 week build as standard, and a 5–6 week build when the commission is bespoke. The body is offered in this frost or taken to a full polish, which turns the same planes into a set of mirrors and is a different object; a tint can be carried through the resin as an amethyst, a smoke or a pale grey. The block comes in this black stone, a white marble or a dark timber, and its footprint is set at order. Scale is cut to order, and a second figure can be cut to mirror this one. Figure and block travel in one crate in separate trays and go together on site with no tools, and each part is a one-person lift. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA torso sweeping an arm across its chest belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classic-sculptures\"\u003eclassic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a window opening through the form leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and broad frosted planes join 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\u003e43cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrosted Cast Resin with Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54017626341723,"sku":"R047","price":2362.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R047.jpg?v=1791305451","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/white-frosted-raised-arm-torso-resin-sculpture-43cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
