Denver Art: The City and the Front Range

Denver, Colorado

“Growing up just minutes away, Red Rocks has always been my cathedral. Its striated walls and surreal acoustics inspired me as both an artist and a music lover.”

The city and the Front Range

Topher was born in Denver. Denver, Night turns the skyline into neon color, and Denver, Day sees the city from the air as a mosaic of buildings.

West of town, the Front Range takes over: the red walls of Red Rocks, the sun over the mesa in Golden Sun, and the Flatirons of Boulder in Boulder and Colorado Gem.
