“I was taken with the exuberance and color of Topher's paintings. Collectors from across the nation came into the gallery to view and purchase Topher’s transcending paintings. He is easy to work with, enthusiastic with and I look forward to our future exhibitions.

Straus’ landscapes have a retro cubist quality, along with a dash of Yellow Submarine.
Michael Paglia, Art Critic
Straus’ work is alarming with color, solid and vibrant. Each work, they first jump out at the viewer separately and then together in a cooperative relationship with one another. His subjects focus on everyday images, though envisioned through an abstract scope. Each piece seems familiar and in most cases, jarringly emotional.
Matthew Marchesano, Critic & Journalist
Topher's work has beautiful movement and graphic brilliance. My client loves the piece that hangs on his wall.

“Topher’s work is stunning and on metal it makes the colors pop. I saw a post he created of the Pacific Ocean and wanted to do an original commision from it. Topher and I worked together, in his studio to create a painting. It turned out stunning and I enjoyed working with him."
Barbara Stanton, Collector
Straus’s large, digital landscape prints of mountain parks are applied to aluminum surfaces for an abstracted look that suggests the very canyon walls and mountain peaks the center was built to extol
Susan Froyd, Art Critic
Topher is an accomplished artist with grace & tenacity. He has accepted life on his terms with his intelligence, authenticity & boundless energy.
Nancy Koontz, Journalist
"I was enthralled with Topher's work and approached him about a commission. He created a beautiful piece of original work that is the centerpiece of my living room remodel. In addition to being a very talented artist, he listens and communicates effectively and works quickly but with all his heart. I absolutely love the piece."
Straus chose to use the National Park system as a blueprint for his unconventional representational landscapes. Straus highlights popular vistas through spectacular 30” x 60” paintings on metal with the goal of providing a personal and rich experience for the viewer, much like when visiting the parks themselves.
