About the Item

Monica DeSalvo’s “This is a Leaky Place” is a 36 x 24 inch surreal collage on watercolor paper. A digital montage of two photos in opposite orientations show illuminated cloudy skies above industrial shipping cranes on the Savannah River with tones of orange, pink, light blue, gray, and black. Abstract imagery includes remnants of DeSalvo’s late father’s paper memorabilia (such as the handwritten lists of numbers, graph and ledger paper, and a military ship) and her own monotypes and drawings on these surfaces. There is a wide white border on the left and right of the unframed work, 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.

  • "Two Roosters Running Amok on Poipu Beach", contemporary, print, mixed media
    By Patty deGrandpre
    Located in Natick, MA
