About the Item
"Bill-Board-Walk, Burning/Coney Island" is a portrait of the vernacular signage and architectural wonder of the billboard attractions at America's most famous amusement park, Coney Island.
The original art was created in cut paper, 50" X 37" and is in the collection of Chase Bank. It is part of Marano's "American-Dream-Land" series and was recently translated into a ltd ed. (25 ) archival pigment print, 30.5 x 24 inches.
Bold, bright and with a daring figure diving in flames, this piece transcends location and time.
Philomena is a daughter of Brooklyn, a master of cut paper and a former assistant to Robert Indiana where she learned the cut paper practice that she continues to explore in her work. She has been exhibited by Tabla Rasa gallery, Prince Street Gallery, the Municipal Art Society, ACA Gallery, Museum of Art DeLand and is represented in corporate, private and museum collections including the Brooklyn Museum.

Philomena Marano
Philomena was raised in Brooklyn, just a stone’s throw from America’s most famous amusement park, Coney Island. She is most known for cut paper collage and limited edition prints in her acclaimed collection, “American-Dream-Land” in which she depicts both personal and universal themes in the rides, signs and attractions of her childhood playground. In 2017 , a move to Florida shifted her attention to the circus thrill shows of Sarasota. The precision, exhilaration and wonder embedded in the spectacle of these performances were a definite reminder of the fun and danger of the wondrous mechanical constructions in Coney Island; a continuity of earlier sensibilities. She acquired and honed her cut paper skills while working as an assistant to preeminent artist Robert Indiana in his New York studio on a prodigious cut paper project rendering set and costume designs for “The Mother of Us All”, Santa Fe Opera. In 2020, she was invited to give artist talks at the MFA St. Pete’s, FL. on her experiences working on the project in an exhibition titled: Art of the Stage: Picasso to Hockney where many of Indiana’s stage designs from “Mother” were displayed. Marano is co-founder of the Coney Island Hysterical Society, earned a BFA from Pratt Institute , and has been included in numerous galleries including Tabla Rasa Gallery, Brooklyn ,NY, ACA Gallery, NY, New York, Deutsche Bank, NY, New York, The DeLand Museum of Art, FL., Ringling College of Art & Design, Sarasota, FL., and the Art Center Sarasota.
Her work is featured in Charles Denson’s book, “Coney Island, Lost and Found,”
Ten Speed Press, 2002, SRQ magazine, 2021 , Luxe Interior + Design, 2021, Between 2Two Shores, a UK based Literary & Art publication, 2021, among others
and is in many private and corporate collections including the Brooklyn Museum.
