"The Vent" by dennis allain 

The Vent was an architectural design exploration that was based on a world overcome by structure. from a design perspective I had been interested in this idea of construction and how it can overcome that which was once thought valuable and beautiful. The object of past idealism is portrayed in the white structure placed in middle ground. In setting up the composition it was important to use the bridge to extent the viewer into the image. The water and refuse in the foreground was also an attempt to add depth. The background also played a role in creating depth and defining silhouette of the city. As an artist I am constantly trying to perfect a color pallet and examine how: form, color, value and texture work in concert to tell a story that resonates with the viewer.
