"The house is gone", diptych, surreal, collage, landscapes, blue, mixed media

2022

About the Item

Monica DeSalvo’s “The house is gone—all that’s left is a wish,” is a diptych with two 36 x 24 inch surreal collages over digital montages first printed onto watercolor paper. Aerial photos of winding blue rivers, expansive earth-toned landscapes, orange clouds, green, yellow, and gray genetic imagery, and white graphic margins are composed of DeSalvo’s photographs taken in Savannah, Georgia and her digital illustrations. Abstracted elements include remnants of DeSalvo’s late father’s paper memorabilia (such as graph and ledger papers, lists of numbers, wind diagrams, and handwritten notes) and her own monotypes printed on some of these surfaces with a Gelli plate. Further abstraction was achieved by enlarging the photographs, creating a blurred painterly effect. Each 36 x 24 inch half is mounted on 1.75 inch deep wood panel. The title is written below the left hand image, and the signature is below the right hand 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.

  • "The Beauty on the Way There", abstract, landscape, blue, black, grey, red
    By Patty deGrandpre
    Located in Natick, MA
    Patty deGrandpre’s “The Beauty on the Way There” is a predominately turquoise blue, black, grey, and red contemporary abstract landscape represented on a 16 x 20 x 2 inch “Ampersand Claybord” block embracing creative photography, mixed media, and collage. Snapshots of a Western United States highway and it’s vast scenic surroundings are printed on Awagami Bamboo Japanese paper in both black and white as well as monochromatic red.
