The form is a peak rather than an openwork mass: nothing is pierced through it, and it rises from a broad craggy foot to a thin flag of material at the top. The whole surface is a coarse fracture, frosted to an opaque finish, and the colour runs a clean white at the crown to a dark charcoal at the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA White Crown Over a Charcoal Foot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gradient does the work of a form here, and it runs the opposite way to most. Weight sits at the bottom in the charcoal, which is dense enough to read as slate, and the crown at the top is a pure opaque white thin enough that its edge is almost a line, so the piece looks as though the top of it has caught snow. Between the two the change is long, passing through a mid grey with no boundary anywhere in it. The surface is a coarse fracture over the whole object, closer to a split rock than to anything cast, and because it is frosted it holds no highlight at all: the reading is entirely tone and shadow, which is why the gradient is so legible. It is a narrow upright and much broader in the crown than in the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 77cm this suits a surface where the crown comes near eye level. A sideboard, a credenza, a console or a study shelf all carry it, and the base needs nothing under it. It needs no space behind, since nothing is pierced: a wall close up costs it nothing, which makes it right for a shelf or an alcove. What it does need is a mid-toned ground, because the white crown vanishes against a pale wall and the charcoal foot vanishes against a dark one, and the whole point is having both ends legible at once. Any light suits it. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere the Grey Turns, and the Second Colourway\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllow 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. The height at which the gradient turns is what is decided at order, and it changes the object considerably: held low the piece reads as a white rock on a dark footing, taken to the middle as here it reads as a peak in weather, and carried high it becomes a dark rock with a white edge. A second colourway is made in which the charcoal is replaced by a green-aqua running up to the same white crown, and it is much the warmer of the two. The fracture can be run coarser or finer, and a polished version is made, though polishing a gradient this long turns tone into reflection and loses it. Other heights keep the same long grade. Nothing on it is delicate: it travels standing with the crown edge protected and goes under one arm. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA frosted peak with a snowy crest belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a solid form read in tone and shadow joins it to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and white grading down to charcoal suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e71cm\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\u003e22cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm, Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImported Clear Resin with Marble Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53956812734811,"sku":"T138","price":2429.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/T138.jpg?v=1790859489","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/white-to-charcoal-frosted-scholars-rock-resin-sculpture-77cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
