Topher Straus
Above The Clouds, LE, Modern Figurative Impressionist Painting, Turtle

2018

About the Item

This large, limited edition, figurative painting of Turtles flying in the sky is a bold, vivid work of art. It is a large-scale digital painting, dye-sublimated onto aluminum by Coloradan artist Topher Straus. He takes an original approach to depicting the creatures he connects with and was inspired by his experience of swimming in the Pacific off the beach in Hawaii and being joined by the native turtles. 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.
