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
