{"product_id":"al-112089","title":"Ocean Memories Long Bench Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ocean Memories series, from French artist Mathieu Lehanneur, focuses on an illusory point of transformation between material states, fixing a portrayal of the ocean’s liquid surface in polished marble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLehanneur continues to test the limits of technical achievement through his art, confronting how best to substantially materialise the transient experiences found in nature. Intending to create an object of beauty that necessitates a soulful rather than intellectual engagement, within his Ocean Memories Long Bench Lehanneur expresses the immensity of the ocean on a comprehensible scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe uses the full length of the bench to transform the black marquina marble from flat seat to trompe l’oeil waves, beginning to subtly ripple the stone outwards from its centre. As much as the physical form of water is accurately rendered in the marble, so too is the feeling of serenity typically experienced when looking out at the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carpenters Workshop Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51788818088200,"sku":"AL-112089","price":40529.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/7741\/0312\/files\/e9092544ee8f7ad7ae744fd1b27b51d6j.jpg?v=1750439790","url":"https:\/\/checkout.carpentersworkshopgallery.com\/products\/al-112089","provider":"Carpenters Workshop Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
