Testimonials
Collectors, curators, designers, and critics on living with and experiencing Topher Straus’s work. These are excerpts from testimonials shared with the studio.
From collectors
“The colors are bold and vibrant, much like the artist who layers his love of life into every work of art. And in the reflection you can see off the shiny bright surface, you too, are a part of the art.”
Denny Thompson · Collector
“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 is a great professional. He listens and communicates effectively and works quickly but with all his heart. I greatly enjoyed the process and absolutely love the piece.”
Brian Pryor · Collector and commission client
“We collaborated on ideas for color and texture over multiple sessions. It was fun and interesting to watch Topher make changes that ultimately developed into my custom piece. I really like the final product!”
Maira Suehnholz · Collector and commission client
““Bay of Plenty” grabbed my attention, my eyes, my brain and my muscles. Standing on the sidewalk in front of Bitfactory Gallery, I moved with the movement of the leaning ship, fighting to stay upright. I knew then I wanted to have the painting in my life forever.”
Kathleen Cook · Art collector
“We have purchased multiple paintings from Topher Straus and we get to enjoy them around the world and in the USA in our homes in Australia and Maui. We love his creativity in capturing the environment and vibrant colors.”
Mandy Dowell · Art collector
From designers, galleries, and critics
“Topher's work has beautiful movement and graphic brilliance. My client loves the piece that hangs on his wall.”
Michael Mezzano · Interior designer
“Topher’s work is…beautiful…creative…eye capturing. You can’t help but look!”
Heidi McDowell · American Mountaineering Museum
“Straus’ landscapes have a retro cubist quality, along with a dash of Yellow Submarine.”
Michael Paglia · Art critic
“When Topher Straus showed me his work I was taken with the exuberance and color of his paintings and the excitement of him talking about his work. My gallery was proud to host his first one person exhibition of THE PARKS.”
Niza Knoll · Gallery owner
