About the Item
Immerse yourself in the mesmerizing power of the Pacific Ocean with Topher Straus' Original captivating "Flow". This digital artwork reimagines the iconic shores of Maui from a breathtaking aerial perspective. Straus' signature technique, meticulously blending photography with digital artistry, captures the dynamic energy of the waves crashing onto the coastline.
The gentle colors swirling throughout the water – blues, greens, and hints of white – evoke the tranquility of a tropical paradise. Straus' use of texture adds depth and realism to the scene, allowing the viewer to feel the spray of the ocean and the power of the waves.
The Process
Straus' creative journey begins with a reference image, often taken himself from a time he connected deeply with his surroundings. Once in his studio, he pares it down to the most basic of lines and shapes, then using a “digital brush”, he meticulously layers countless strokes - hundreds, even thousands - to build his vision, obsessing over every detail. Every vibrant hue, every subtle reflection, becomes a testament to his obsessive pursuit of an abstract yet deeply personal reality.
When his digital masterpiece has reached completion, he entrusts it to skilled artisans. They utilize a cutting-edge sublimation process, which unlike traditional printing, no dots of color mar the surface; there’s only the flawless, vibrant artwork molecularly bonded with a sheet of aluminum. A protective resin shields the art and adds luminosity, then the sheet is seamlessly bonded to a brushed black aluminum frame, ensuring both strength and sleek modernity. This meticulous process imbues the final piece with an almost backlit quality, amplifying the vivid colors and igniting the viewer's gaze.
Each finished artwork bears an individualized plaque of authenticity discreetly placed on its back. This elegant inscription details the title, size, edition number, and copyright notice, ensuring the work’s originality.
About Topher
Steeped in the Colorado outdoors from a young age, Topher found equal solace in exploring both nature's grandeur and the world of art. This duality imbues his work, echoing the Fauvist style of vibrant colors and abstraction, while centering on the natural world he champions. To him, art is not just an expression, but an invitation – a call to embrace the beauty that surrounds us, just as his brushstrokes capture it.
Straus' journey to artistic expression was a tapestry woven from diverse threads. A lifetime of exploration, a decade collaborating with cinematic legend Robert Altman, and years honing his singular perspective culminated in his 2019 Denver solo exhibition. There, the art world embraced his vibrant landscapes, and success followed in exhibitions across the globe. His limited-edition works continue to fuel both his creative fire and philanthropic pursuits, proving that artistic passion, in his hands, nourishes humanity in myriad ways.
Framing and Hanging
Fabricated with a specialized process, this artwork arrives ready to elevate any space. The permanent frame ensures structural integrity, while pre-installed hanging wire simplifies the installation. Discreetly attached rubber feet provide optimal stability when displayed against any surface. After hanging, the piece will proudly project one and a half inches from the wall, creating a captivating presence.

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.

About the artist.
Clivette was born in Portage, Wisconsin, in 1868 as Merton Clive Cook, the youngest of five (four sons and one daughter). His father was a retired British sea captain, and his mother was an American of French, Scottish and Iroquois Indian stock.
He stayed with a circus for about five years, traveling all over the Western United States, Canada and Mexico. They did shows for the army forts, for railroad workers and on Indian Reservations.
Clivette settled in San Francisco in 1886, when he was offered a job as a reporter and theatrical writer for the San Francisco Call. He met Frederic Remington during this period. He was the first serious artist Clivette had met and he was an inspiration to him.
Clivette had done some drawing and painting on the road during his vaudeville years, he had a natural facility for it, and he had had some formal art training as well. He had had some training in Europe and was aware of the modern art movement in Europe. Later in New York he participated in symposiums and workshops at the Art Students League. Around 1910 he gave up his stage career and began to paint full time. He was about 40 years old and was to continue to paint vigorously and prolifically for the remaining 22 years of his life, His style can be identified with the Expressionist Movement, His subjects include portraits (some quite realistic, others more generalized) Indians and horsemen, laborers, gentlemen and vamps, jungle animals and birds, fish, seascapes and landscapes.
He was an active participant in the art world of New York. He was a member of the Society of Independent Artists. In 1923 he showed at the Ainslee Art Gallery at 677 Fifth Ave., in 1925 at the Spanish Society in Brooklyn and in 1927 he had a solo show at the New Gallery, 600 Madison Ave. That same year there was also a solo show of his work in Paris at the Bernheim-Jeune Gallery, which included a catalogue. In 1929 he exhibited at the Art Center of the Roerich Museum in a group show of work from the collection of George Hellman. In 1930 he was in a show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, "Painting and Sculpture by Living Americans" which also included the work of Stuart Davis, Arthur Dove, William Glackens, Marsden Hartley, Childe Hassam, George Luks and Mark Tobey and sculptors Gaston Lachaise and William Zorach among others.
