Monica DeSalvo
"The Red Book", surreal, abstract, graphic, green, collage, mixed media

2018

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.

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.

The graphic design approach to this modern composition is appreciated as the viewer recognizes a glimpse through a car window of distant mountains and roadside terrain.
