Artist Statement:
Founder of Funism: Sal
Marino is a multi-media artist
with a career that spans more
than thirty years. His recent
works, "Strange Paintings &
Prints" are the discovery of a
thirty-something year long
quest for a stylistic approach
that, according to the artist,
". . . was there all along!"
Marino is known as the Founder
of "Funism", an art movement
dedicated to and rooted in
absolute fun. These new images
draw their influence from the
sometimes cryptic, sometimes
erotic, but most times
hillarious doodlings of
Marino's youth. Marino's wry
sense of humor and curious
point of view have given birth
to a body of work that will
bring a smile to the face of
almost any viewer. His sought
after limited edition prints
and original paintings will
enhance any collection and
become the focal point of many
interesting conversations for
years to come. More

| Your Personal Biography |
Yes girls, I'm Dashingly Handsome, Single, A Love God on my Home Planet of Zimdar and I'll be signing autographs later, so please stand back while I get naked and ready for this...[Rimshot & Cymbal Crash!] ...Started doing these goofy doodles when I was in High School about a hundred and eighty seven years ago. Did lots of other stuff too! Music (was almost a Rock Star...film at 11!), Photography (was an assistant for Ralph Gibson, got to meet the Art Elite in NYC), was poor, found Capitalism, got rich, then poor, then rich again, got married, had a son, got divorced, got poor again and now...who cares? So I started painting and sculpting again for FUN> Some years ago (c2001) someone asked me what I call this stuff...For lack of a better excuse [and at the insistence of some individuals who just love labels], I called it 'Funism'. Now, some years later I'm known as the 'Founder of the Funism Art Movement'. Go Figure? And that's not all!...Now all the 'trendy's' anti up big bucks for my stuff because they find it hillarious and simply must have a 'Marino' 'Funist' work in their collection...So you see, you too can be rich and famous...all you have to do is make something brilliant (Oh Brother, is this guy serious?) that people want and sell it for lots of Green...Or, you can simply do what everyone else does and tell me what to go do to myself...[Cymbal Crash!] But if you really want to know more about my life of debauchery, read my book, 'Guy Talk, Girl Talk', an amusingly filthy Funism Book which affords a humorous look at sexual yearnings, unfulfilled love, brushes with fame and the not so ordinary oddities of life..
