About the Item
Monica DeSalvo’s “Looking Around for You” is a 14 x 11 inch surreal collage built on an acrylic monotype with bright red, bronze, green, silver, and black botanical forms. A tiny striped lighthouse is centered within abstracted impressions of intact and shards of leaves. Overlapping transparent and opaque forms create depth and an illusion of light and shadow. The monotype base was created using a Gelli plate. Other elements include a jagged shape with tan seed pods and DeSalvo’s late father’s hand-written notes and graph paper that she has printed onto. The work was inspired by a walk along a footpath on the Greek island of Skopelos shrouded with fruit trees. The 9.5 x 7.5 inch image is in a 14 x 11 inch white mat. The signature is on the back of the collage.
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.
