About the Item

Collage: Hand cut color-aid paper on gessoed heavyweight watercolor paper framed in a flat gray painted wood frame with plexi. Philomena is a daughter of Brooklyn. She holds a BFA from Pratt Institute, is an intimate with the visual poetry of the colorful city especially Coney Island. She created the award winning poster for the first "Spirit of Brooklyn ' competition, and is a master of "paper collie", the elegant cut paper technique she learned as a studio assistant to preeminent artist, Robert Indiana. Her series "FLAT FIX", which this piece "Used Tires" is part of, elevates the often un-noticed gritty tire shops she discovered on her walks through a bleak industrial area to her Brooklyn studio. "They stood out like little carnivals, red and yellow cones & signs- tumbledown but full of interesting forms and graphics. I rendered them with as few forms as possible, leaving the viewer's eye to complete the scene." There are 12 images in the "FLAT FIX" series.
