Monica DeSalvo
"The Red Book", surreal, abstract, graphic, green, collage, mixed media

2018

About the Item

Monica DeSalvo’s “The Red Book” is a 37 x 24 inch digital enlargement of a surreal collage on paper embellished with mixed media. The abstract base contains graphic areas of red and lime green blending with yellow and lavender monotype fragments and items such as fruit and space machinery. The lively arrangement is divided into two components, and its complexity is derived from multiple iterations of manipulating and repurposing past work. Pastel, marker, and colored pencil are added to the top layer of this final iteration on archival watercolor paper. The unframed work has a white border, and the title and signature are written below the image. Monica DeSalvo is a Boston-based mixed-media artist and designer. She received her BFA in Visual Design from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth. Her work has been shown in many shows both juried and invitational and is a part of collections across the US and Europe. She is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston.

    By Patty deGrandpre
    Located in Natick, MA
    Patty deGrandpre’s “The Beauty on the Way There” is a predominately turquoise blue, black, grey, and red contemporary abstract landscape represented on a 16 x 20 x 2 inch “Ampersand Claybord” block embracing creative photography, mixed media, and collage.
