Monica DeSalvo
"Build. Repair. Adjust.", Abstract, Graffiti, Blue, Yellow, Pink, Acrylic, 2020

2020

About the Item

Monica DeSalvo’s “Build. Repair. Adjust.” is a 30 x 22 inch abstract graffiti-like acrylic “print” painting on paper. Bold curved shapes inspired by a Bauhaus teapot are stamped over blocks of indigo blue, yellow, ochre, pink, shades of white, and a black line drawing of a hand. An image transfer with bold magazine type is added to the patchwork composition which was achieved by using a brayer and by creating a matrix to print directly onto the archival printmaking paper with deckled edges. The signature is at the bottom. Monica DeSalvo is a Boston-based mixed-media artist and designer with a BFA in Visual Design from the University of Massachusetts. Her work has been featured in juried and invitational exhibitions and publications such as Suboart, Juniper Rag, and Artscope magazines. In 2024, she participated in her first artist residency at the Kolaj Institute in Sanquhar, Scotland. Her 2023 solo show, A Bus Tour in the Woods: Visual Duets with Her Father, was held at the Hopkinton Center for the Arts, and she was interviewed for the Dementia Spring Foundation’s Artist Spotlight. Monica lives and works in Arlington, MA. She is represented by Fountain Street Gallery based in Boston.
