About the Item
This large limited edition modern landscape painting of Denver, Colorado is a bold vivid work of contemporary art. The large-scale digital painting, dye-sublimated onto aluminum by Coloradan artist Topher Straus, takes an original approach to depicting iconic landscapes. The rich palette intensifies the light reflecting through the sublimated dye and unique high gloss finish. The elegant simplicity of edge framing enhances the sophistication of the painting. Measuring almost three feet by five feet, this is a true statement piece of contemporary modern impressionist art.
This piece is truly one of a kind. Inspired by Straus's exploration of the outdoors, he starts with an image and overlays his vision of the landscape using layer upon layer of digital color, applied painstakingly by hand. There can be hundreds, even thousands, of separate layers to each painting. He utilizes the layers to clarify the image into the colors and shapes he sees as an artist. Only twenty-five limited editions are created for each painting. Straus’s works have been selling out quickly - make this a part of your collection before they are gone!
Once he completes the artwork, the painting is fabricated through a unique process that creates a continuous-tone dye image onto a 30 x 60-inch sheet of aluminum. Topher's work is not printed - there is no resolution or "dots per inch." The artwork is first transferred onto a large sheet of special paper with dye, not ink. The transfer image is laid on coated aluminum and heated until the dye transmutes into a gas (sublimation), which fuses to the coated aluminum.
The result is a unique translucent image that lets the light reflect through to the aluminum, so it appears backlit. The phenomenal depth and tonal range of color cannot be produced by any other method, including the highest-resolution museum-quality printing.
Framing and hanging system:
The painting arrives with an installed hanging wire so that the artwork can be hung right out of the box. The edge frame is 1.3" brushed black aluminum. It is bonded to the artwork with VHB tape, which creates a water-impermeable bond. Once hung, the frame puts the artwork precisely 1.5" from the wall. Rubber bumpers on all four corners create wall stability.

Topher Straus
Topher Straus's body of work represents an unconventional, stylized approach to depicting natural and urban landscapes. Sublimated onto large-scale metal sheets, they are powerful statement pieces that instantly surprise and engage the viewer. His process merges technology with an artist’s eye for form and color to highlight the essence of each subject matter, allowing his digital creations to pop off the metal substrate. Born and raised in Denver, Colorado in 1974, Straus grew up enjoying every opportunity to hike, ski, camp or otherwise spending time outdoors in nature. He left to study at Syracuse University in New York receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1997. His first career in directing documentary narrative films and advertising, took him to Los Angeles and later, New Zealand. His achievements in this medium included the appearance of his films in numerous international film festivals. In 2018, after a decade of professional film making, Straus returned to Denver and shifted his focus. He began fervently working toward becoming a full-time fine artist, hosting his first solo show in 2019. His second solo show, The Parks, debuted at a Denver gallery and garnered attention for his modern approach to the depiction of iconic landscapes, solidifying his style, vision and emergence into the art scene. The exhibit was also featured later that year at the American Mountaineering Museum. His colorful and dynamic work has been exhibited in galleries, institutions, museums and private collections throughout the United States and overseas. Straus is proud to have been recognized on a national level with the US National Park Service. Beginning in 2021 his “Tetons National Park” painting will be on permanent exhibit at the visitor’s center in the Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming. Straus is an active, enthusiastic promoter of his own work and the art community overall through his large social media presence. He currently lives and works above Denver in the foothills of Golden, Colorado surrounded by the wilderness that inspires him. He has raised over $40,000 (USD) for charities he believes and continues to support organizations he believes in through his TOPHER GIVES initiative. He is currently represented by in Vail, Breckenridge, Winter Park, Evergreen and Boulder Colorado as well as in Los Gatos, California and Dallas, Texas.
