Ombrae^TM

In collaboration with Ombrae Studios, Inc., KPS is proud to offer Ombrae^TM.  This amazing sculptural imaging technology will set your architectural facade apart from all others. Using advanced computer processing and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, three-dimensional pixels – Optical Tiles™ – are created in the aluminum panel surface.  Each pixel reflects a varying tone of light. The surface, in turn, generates imagery. From photo realism to geometric patterning, the opportunities are endless, and each project becomes a genuinely unique masterpiece of art.

The many years of Rod’s studio and academic training, and his 18 years in the Vancouver film industry as an Art Director, Set Designer, Sculptor, and Special Effects Technician, prepared the ground that led to the ultimate evolution of his work into Sculptural Imaging – the Ombrae System.
