Alex Roulette's painting entitled Smoke Bomb contains aesthetic elements which create a feeling of dystopia. The strange cerulean/turquoise smoke in contrast with the pink houses is what first captures the viewer's eye and conjures many questions in regards to the smoke and what could possibly make it that color. The man in the foreground also causes more questions such as what is the expression on his face? Is he the perpetrator of this smoke bomb? Is he about to throw another one or is he cowering in fear? There are no conclusive answers to any of these questions and so it leaves the viewer to dwell on their feelings of uncertainty and fear.
