la résine acidulée

20:10 Aug 19, 2010 

Everyone who answered had something helpful to add. The difficulty with brightly-colored for me is it leaves it too open. I ended up using "acidic resin" but now thing that maybe "acidulated yellow" would convey the coloration as well as the material...

Acidic colours have a particular quality apart from brightness. They are generally at the cold end of the spectrum for their hue. E.g. lemon yellow is more acidic than cadmium yellow, viridian and cerrulean blue are more acidic than sap green and manganese blue. On the other hand, the juxtaposition of various colours affects how acidic any one of them will appear.

I think the point is that bright coloured resin not only adds volume itself, being 3 dimensional, but that bright or light coloured objects appear larger than dark coloured objects.
I was unable to find any reference to "acidic resin" in an artistic context. Similarly, almost all refs to "résine acidulée" on a web search have to do with colour.

found in a Google search:

Wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, he is only half-joking when he describes the hard physical labor required to make his paintings. He pours layers of intensely colored resin on panels of Masonite laid flat atop sawhorses.

. Here, the artist hasapplied copious layers of intensely colored resin to wood and then drilled out areas, forming deep and exquisitely chromatic concentric circles.

And for ''brightly-colored resin'':

''intensely-colored resin lends itself well / is suitable for large works of art.''

There's no debate that acidulé usually refers to a certain type of coloration. However, there *does* seem to be usage of "acidic" resin also. Here's a text example from a product description: "liquid form, low affinity so that no difference in shade at the beginning and the end, stable in acidic resin solution "

My assessment from the sentence given was that the last part of that sentence couldn't easily be referred to colour -- brightly-coloured resin is good in large volumes?

Then again I'm not an artist and would certainly defer to those who are. My art stops at stick figures.

One definition of ''aciduler'':
Au fig., néol. d'auteur, légèrement péj. Rendre (exagérément) aigu :

Also, it is used to describe colors:

Mais il sortira aussi de la garde-robe cet été dans des teintes acidulées de rose, de vert lime et de bleu royal, bien sûr!

Patchwork halluciné, la collection printemps 2010 de Balenciaga amalgame douce transparence, teintes acidulées et jeans en cuir.

Ou encore un gloss aux teintes acidulées (Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy). Poursuivre avec un blush

I think that ''intense'' is a good translation in these cases.

"acidulé" refers to the colour of the resin here IMO - bright yellow - http://pourpre.com/chroma/dico.php?typ=fiche&ent=acidule

I've never heard of a sculpture in "acidic resin". Acrylic, yes. And I use it myself in painting.

The acrylic resin in question may be acidic, but not all acidic resins are acrylic (derived from acrylonitrile or acrylic acid).

22:00 Aug 11, 2010 

If acrylic resin is an actual synonym and both are used in the doc then I suspect it's the better one to use -- it's more common in English painting terms. But *only* if they truly are equal, obviously; I don't recall seeing instances of acrylic in the research I did earlier.

English document uses terms interchangeably. Anyone have an idea of which would be current when discussing scupture? Thank you to all who have weighed in so far.
