The compositions often appear as alternative reality landscapes with environmental or political themes. Venti will answer your questions about his incredibly meticulous and wonderful technique of applying layers of color to the fascinating surreal landscapes he has "imagined" and brought to life. During the talk, you'll be to invited to view the many works on the walls up close. He will demonstrate the techniques that he has developed to achieve the wondrous effects in his work.
