Cat on Pool Table

 

"This story of this painting is interesting. I was preparing for a two-person show called 'The Masters' – so obviously, you can see Matisse's influence in this painting. Growing up, I was able to see all this amazing artwork by Matisse, which had a huge impression on me. This is my Matisse-inspired mischievous cat. I created this painting during the pandemic, focusing on optimism. Watch my video for a fun explanation of the subject matter!"

Details

 “A large part of my art is the first step, the actual journey; experiencing nature in person and observing it. Whether it’s the delicate eyelashes of an elephant up-close, or the continually changing hues of the world around me, I’ve learned that all the parts create the whole. The adventure itself helps shape my interpretation." - Topher Straus


THE PROCESS


Having selected an image that speaks to his soul, Straus puts on his Apple Vision Pro  goggles. “When I make my paintings,” he says with his ever-boyish enthusiasm, “I live inside them.” Fully immersed in an image, he then gradually, joyously transforms it using his own suite of digital painting tools, shaping and coloring it to express the scene’s very essence as he himself literally sees it.”


Next, he deploys the high-tech process of “sublimation,” transfusing his painting into an imperishable, glossy polymer coating on durable aluminum-alloy sheet, then coating it with a glossy resin finish. The resulting luminous images — created in a range of sizes and in strictly limited editions — enable light to reflect off the metal, endowing each finished painting with extraordinarily vibrant richness. The high gloss finish allows the viewer to literally visualize themselves in the painting.


THE FRAME


The painting is bonded to a black 1.375" thick edge mounted frame. The result is sleek and modern, and allows for easy hanging on your wall with the pre-installed professional art hanging wire. For a more secure and low profile hang, use the included bonus secure mounting system.  See "Hanging Instructions" for more details.


What Topher's Collectors Say:

amazing and uniquely identifiable

"Topher's work is nothing but amazing and uniquely identifiable. He has an uncanny ability to combine the beauty of the natural landscape into a digital format, the juxtaposition is breathtaking and simultaneously comfortable. The color palette is striking, creating a fantasy world from the picturesque backdrops we all know and love. How lucky we are to have captured his work for our home!"

  • JP & Rachel Brewer

this is a must see experience

"Garden of the Gods. 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. This is a must see experience for anyone who has witnessed the magic of our great outdoors."

  • Denny Thompson

We ended up with two!

" We were drawn to Topher's work because of the unique and modern approach that he takes to creating landscapes. Nature and technology are both important parts of our life, so we connected with the way that he blends landscape photography and digital painting. While the artwork is beautiful online, it becomes even more vibrant when you see it in person printed on aluminum with a glossy finish. In fact, we had such a hard time deciding which piece we liked best that we ended up with two! "
