{"product_id":"shell-122cm-bronze-limited-edition","title":"SHELL - 122cm (Bronze Limited Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eShell is rooted in James Parker’s lifelong fascination with the natural world and the shoreline landscapes of southwest Scotland. Growing up in Galloway, Parker spent hours exploring caves and rock pools at St Medan, gathering whelk shells from the sand and shoreline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sculpture is based on the whelk shell, a natural form shaped by time, survival and evolution. Its spiral can be described through mathematical relationships, yet it remains entirely organic in character. In translating this form into bronze, Parker uses the shell as a starting point, subtly refining its proportions so the work resolves as sculpture rather than literal representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe challenge lies in maintaining continuity through the curve while keeping the surface calm, measured and uninterrupted. The result is a contemporary bronze sculpture that balances organic movement with sculptural restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShell is available across a wide range of scales, from small hand-held works to larger garden and monumental pieces. Smaller editions are produced using the lost-wax process, while larger works are sand cast in bronze. Traditional brown patination is the most common finish, with alternative patinas available to suit interior, architectural or landscape settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work has been shown in gallery settings, garden landscapes and at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, including a four-foot example presented on Parker’s Main Avenue trade stand. Whether placed indoors, outdoors or within sight of the sea, Shell carries a quiet connection to coastline, memory and natural form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach sculpture is signed, dated, individually numbered and supplied with a certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bronze with Patination\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 122 cm, Edition: 10 (14-week lead time) = £70,000\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOTHER SIZES AVAILABLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSize: 10 cm, Edition: 195 – available now = £900\u003cbr\u003eSize: 30 cm, Edition: 50 – available now = £4,200\u003cbr\u003eSize: 61 cm, Edition: 25 (14-week lead time) = £12,000\u003cbr\u003eSize: 244 cm, Edition: 9 (6-month lead time) = £190,000\u003cbr\u003eSize: 488 cm, Edition: 3 (10-month lead time) £750,000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll prices quoted include VAT\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Parker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57530212516171,"sku":null,"price":70000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/7519\/4699\/files\/james-parker-bronze-shell-sculpture-rhs-chelsea-flower-show-4ft.jpg?v=1780871270","url":"https:\/\/artisancollective.co.uk\/products\/shell-122cm-bronze-limited-edition","provider":" Artisan Collective Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
