About the Item
Counterpart is a sculpture by British contemporary artist Tom Price, it is composed by two elements each measuring 45 cm H x 220 cm L x 35 cm D ( 17.7 × 86.6 × 13,78 in).
This artwork is available on commission. It will be created on the same basis as shown in the images and under the same conditions. Each piece is unique due to the creative process used.
Counterpart is one of Tom Price’s ‘hybrid’ artworks sitting halfway between art and design: the pieces can be seen exclusively as sculptures or can also serve as benches. The title of the work gains in this way a second meaning: ‘Counterpart’ refers to the plinth or base on which a sculpture is placed, and this artwork becomes a sculpture or a base depending on the public’s viewing and use.
Counterpart was originally a commission for the Duke of Devonshire and Chatsworth House, in England.
This piece is made with two blocks of diametrically opposed materials. The bright one (with lighting inside) glows from within and illuminates some of the internal cracks and fissures. The other block is made from coal which has a very different effect to the resin, and actually absorbs light.
Tom Price forces resin and tar to live in the same space, experimenting with the chemical reactions through heating materials and catalysis process. As the tar fragments inserted into the resin blocks widen, they develop fissures, voids and cracks, modifying the original appearance, colour and characteristics of the resin. A new element is now created by the synthesis of the two.
The resin piece is lit by LED tape light on the base. The lights are mounted on a tray that can be slid out from one end for access. The plug-in adaptor has interchangeable heads and is suitable for use in Europe, Asia, the UK and USA.
