Monica DeSalvo
"Dressed Up Properties", abstract, pink, red, yellow, blue, leaf, mixed media

2023

About the Item

Monica DeSalvo’s “Dressed Up Properties” is a 22 x 30 inch triptych composed of three abstract acrylic monoprints with leaf forms. Red, yellow, royal blue, magenta, pink, sky blue, and hints of green and orange run from bright and crisp to muted and distressed. Handwritten math equations are exposed through the imagery on the left and right panels printed on vintage ruled notebook paper. The middle panel contains felt texture impressions and is on archival paper. The ruled paper and homework once belonged to DeSalvo’s late father, and the title is excerpted from one of his quotes. DeSalvo regularly experiments with Gelli printing onto his documents. The work is on archival printmaking paper with deckled edges at the top and bottom. It is hinge-mounted with archival linen tape onto a sheet of 24.5 x 32.25 inch archival foamcore, providing a rigid surface with a border (approximately 1.25 inches) for framing. The signature is 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 Monica DeSalvo
    Located in Natick, MA
    Monica DeSalvo’s “Space Junk” is a 22 x 30 inch surreal collage on a digital enlargement of an abstract acrylic monotype with pink, tan, orange, peach, sage, and white. Soft textures and depth are created by the uneven distribution of color and layering a day’s worth of final pulls with a Gelli plate, capturing faint impressions of items such as a feather. Collage elements include monotype fragments with botanical forms and vintage textbook...

    By Monica DeSalvo
    Located in Natick, MA
    Monica DeSalvo’s “Clark Field Tried Calling Mum” is a 16 x 12 inch minimalist collage on a black and white acrylic monotype with irregular edges and a faded, uneven texture.
