Monica DeSalvo
"It's nature leaving you alone", surreal, landscapes, blue, green, collage

2020

About the Item

Monica DeSalvo’s “It’s nature leaving you alone” is a 28 x 22 inch surreal collage on archival watercolor paper. Aerial photos of expansive landscapes and winding blue rivers near Savannah, Georgia, show a vast sky blending into the horizon with pale and muted tones of ivory, olive green, yellow and gray. Abstracted imagery and remnants of paper memorabilia from DeSalvo’s late father gently float around the perimeter and cross over the narrow passage between the upper and lower sideways components. Elements include a line drawing of a hand, a weather diagram, an airplane, silverware, and mushrooms. The unframed work has a white border and is mounted on 30 x 24 inch archival paper. 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.

    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.
