Philomena Marano More Prints
American, b. 1952
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.to

Artist: Philomena Marano
Coney Island Tondo, screen print, colorful graphic shooting gallery, shadow box
By Philomena Marano
Located in Brooklyn, NY
NOTE: There is NO CHARGE for the frame on this work
Philomena Marano has spent decades “penetrat[ing] the soul of Coney Island to reveal its twin promises of candy-colored paradise and garishly ornate nightmare,” as Ann Aptaker describes, through the prints and cut-paper collage in her “American Dream-land” series (1979-). These colorful, graphic style works evoke the energy and amusement of Coney Island through depictions of the rides, the boardwalk, clowns, and food vendors. Many are large-scale papier collé installations, a technique Marano learned from Robert Indiana in whose studio she formerly assisted. In conjunction with “American Dream Land,” in 1981 Marano and Richard Eagan co-founded the Coney Island Hysterical Society, which undertakes projects such as restoring old rides in response to the alarming rate at which they were shutting down in the fabled amusement park of their childhood.
Ms. Marano is a daughter of Brooklyn. She holds a BFA from Pratt Institute, is an intimate of the visual poetry of Coney Island, created the winning poster for the first Spirit of Brooklyn poster...
