{"product_id":"yellow-bust-with-sphere-cluster-hair-resin-sculpture-67cm","title":"Yellow Bust with Sphere-Cluster Hair Resin Sculpture - 67cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bust is cut off level across the chest and the tops of the arms, so it ends on a flat plane and needs nothing under it: the cut face is what it stands on. The face and shoulders are modelled plainly, and from the crown the hair lifts and then breaks apart into a cluster of separate spheres of different sizes rising and thinning as they go. The resin is a translucent yellow throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFlat at the Bottom, Open at the Top\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece is a flat plane at one end and an open cluster at the other, and both extremes are exacting for opposite reasons. The chest cut has an edge running right round the bust and every part of it is seen at once, so it is trued off on a flat bed and dressed to one sharpness the whole way round, back included. The cluster is the other half: each sphere touches its neighbours at a point and is polished right round through the gaps, which are too narrow for a finger, and the transition from combed hair into loose spheres has to happen over a few centimetres or the two halves look like separate objects joined at the crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it ends flat, this needs a surface at chest height or a little below and nothing under it: a console, a mantel, a shelf, a plinth of its own. It is met from the front and slightly below, which is how a bust is always met, and it loses the cluster's shape from directly above. A translucent yellow wants daylight or a cool lamp; a warm bulb pushes it towards orange and flattens the colour. Against a white or a grey wall it reads at full strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCluster Size, Colour and Handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. Cluster size is settled at order, from this rising mass to a low crown or a single tall stack, and the spheres can be evened out or made to vary more. The yellow can be taken to an amber, a rose, a green, a smoke or a colourless body, and an opaque finish is offered. A full seated figure can be made to order. Scale is open in both directions. One fitted crate holds it with the cluster packed clear of the walls; two lift it at the shoulders and there is nothing to fit. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bust whose hair breaks into spheres belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a crown of separate spheres leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and translucent yellow 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\u003e67cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31cm\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\u003eTranslucent Yellow Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019283190107,"sku":"R204","price":2362.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R204.jpg?v=1791309996","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/yellow-bust-with-sphere-cluster-hair-resin-sculpture-67cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
