Monica DeSalvo
"Space Junk", abstract, surreal, peach, orange, collage, monotype, mixed media

2023

About the Item

Monica DeSalvo’s “Space Junk” is a 22 x 30 inch surreal collage on a digital enlargement of an abstract acrylic monotype with pink, tan, orange, peach, sage, and white. Soft textures and depth are created by the uneven distribution of color and layering a day’s worth of final pulls with a Gelli plate, capturing faint impressions of items such as a feather. Collage elements include monotype fragments with botanical forms and vintage textbook images from DeSalvo’s late father. Some of the monotype fragments were printed on her father’s engineering forms which she regularly incorporates into her work. The work is on archival printmaking paper with a deckled edge at the top. The signature is 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.
