“Coney Island” is an original artwork by Lenore Mizarchi-Cohen depicting the colorful beachfront and amusement park skyline of Coney Island, New York. The scene includes the Wonder Wheel, Parachute Jump, roller coasters, beachgoers and the Atlantic shoreline. Loose lines and bright color give the work an energetic, playful quality that reflects the character of this iconic seaside destination.

This series is a collection of experiences in cities around the world. Within each is a journal entry that draws viewers in to the moment. The text touches on reflections on what that place felt like, people Lenore encountered while creating the work and how they interacted with it, and themes that were being considered at the time (like existentialism, responsibility, and chance). These narratives bring the artist's perspective into the public space and encourage similar reflection by the viewer.
