About the Item
Monica DeSalvo’s “Acceleration” is an 11 x 11 inch abstract collage with irregular edges on flecked felt paper. Bold negative spaces fortify a layered structure with pink, red, dark purple, and blue monotype fragments, botanical elements, and chairs. Textures vary with ripped paper from a spiral notebook, speckled paint splatter, and overlapping transparent colors. The work was inspired by architectural structures and churches piled high on jagged rocks on the Greek island of Skopelos.
DeSalvo’s abstraction becomes surreal with imagery such as the two upside-down chairs descending from the top of the heap while a third sits upright on the bottom border occupied by a serviceman sitting crossed-legged. This image comes from a textbook once belonging to DeSalvo’s late father. DeSalvo regularly incorporates her father’s paper memorabilia into her work as well as monotypes printed on these materials. The image is in a black metal 11 x 11 x 0.825 inch frame with glass. 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.
