Michele Zalopany
Acrobats, Michele Zalopany. Black and white monotype painting landscape

1988

About the Item

In this black and white monotype, Zalopany has captured a duo of tumblers atop a roof, as onlookers stare in wonder. The artist is able to capture movement and shadow with fluid swaths of ink and delicately-painted details, defining sun-lit areas by removing ink with a single gesture. Paper 31 x 22.5 in / 78.75 x 57 cm Image 19.5 x 20 / 49.5 x 51 cm Monotype on white paper. Signed by the artist, dated 1988, and annotated IA lower right in pencil. Born in 1955 in Detroit Michigan, Michele Zalopany is a contemporary American artist best known for her large-scale watercolor and pastel paintings based on photographs found in digital picture collections, old books, and flea markets, etc. Found photographs and film screen shots that had originally served other purposes -- family snapshots, police photos, real estate, travel documentation -- when rendered, directly from the image, with traditional art materials, take on additional meanings, such as socio-psychological-political content. She exhibited in the 1989 Whitney Biennial and her work is included in more than 25 institutions including the Museum of Fine Art, Boston; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Yokohama Museum, Japan; Royal College of Art, London.
