An Artful Gathering Space

A few years ago I was working with a client who develops residential apartment complexes. The target demographic for a particular complex of theirs in the ballpark district of downtown Denver was the young professional set, and so their design reflected that niche's preference for clean, modern style and abundant amenities for group gathering. We ended up selecting three of Artist X's "tower" sculptures to place in the outdoor lounge area. They are clean and architectural but also somewhat gritty and industrial, much like the area of the development. As he describes them: "Each open piece of pipe and tubing is a window looking out into the world...the sculpture becomes a constantly changing perspective in light, line, and shadow".
