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.
