About the Item

Monica DeSalvo’s “The Red Book” is a 37 x 24 inch digital enlargement of a surreal collage on paper embellished with mixed media. The abstract base contains graphic areas of red and lime green blending with yellow and lavender monotype fragments and items such as fruit and space machinery. The lively arrangement is divided into two components, and its complexity is derived from multiple iterations of manipulating and repurposing past work. Pastel, marker, and colored pencil are added to the top layer of this final iteration on archival watercolor paper. The unframed work has a white border, and the title and signature are written below the image. Monica DeSalvo is a Boston-based mixed-media artist and designer with a BFA in Visual Design from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth. Her work has been featured in juried and invitational exhibitions, as well as in several periodicals, and is part of collections in the United States and Europe. DeSalvo is represented by Fountain Street Gallery based in Boston.
