This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features a Comic style image of two women and colorful polka Dots. Incorporating images from mass media and Comic book imagery, Dan Monteavaro plays with the familiar of those images and the comfort that comes when looking at pixel-based art. The beauty to monteavaro's work is more in the missing portions, therein lies a communication between artist and material that then resonates with the viewer. Dan grew up in new York where the urban landscape influenced his work. His work appears in numerous galleries and private collections. His current works can be seen at an upcoming solo exhibition in Los Angeles. Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
