Elephant on Earth, Original Large Modern Abstract Animal Painting

2021

About the Item

This original modern colorful abstract animal painting titled, Elephant on Earth, is a bold vivid work of contemporary art. The original large-scale digital painting is dye-sublimated onto aluminum by Coloradan artist Topher Straus. The rich palette intensifies the light reflecting through the sublimated dye and unique high gloss finish. The elegant simplicity of edge framing enhances the sophistication of the painting. Measuring almost four feet by seven and a half feet, this is a true statement piece of contemporary modern impressionist art. This piece is truly one of a kind. He starts with an image and overlays his vision using layer upon layer of digital color, applied painstakingly by hand. There can be hundreds, even thousands, of separate layers to each painting. He utilizes the layers to clarify the image into the colors and shapes he sees as an artist. Only ONE painting is fabricated in this large-scale format, making your piece of art unique. It takes an exceptional space to showcase this impressive artwork. Once he completes the artwork, the Original painting is fabricated through a unique process that creates a continuous-tone dye image onto a 90 x 45-inch sheet of aluminum. Topher's work is not printed - there is no resolution or "dots per inch." The artwork is first transferred onto a large sheet of special paper with dye, not ink. The transfer image is laid on coated aluminum and heated until the dye transmutes into a gas (sublimation), which fuses to the coated aluminum. The result is a unique translucent image that lets the light reflect through to the aluminum, so it appears backlit. The phenomenal depth and tonal range of color cannot be produced by any other method, including the highest-resolution museum-quality printing. Framing and hanging system: The painting arrives with an installed hanging wire so that the artwork can be hung right out of the box. The edge frame is 1.3" brushed black aluminum. It is bonded to the artwork with VHB tape, which creates a water-impermeable bond. Once hung, the frame puts the artwork precisely 1.5" from the wall. Rubber bumpers on all four corners create wall stability. Additional Information: Size: 90" x 45" Original Also available in a Limited Edition of 25, size option: 60" x 30”
