Renowned Japanese artist Ushio Shinohara is celebrated for his unique “boxing paintings.” In this distinctive technique, he submerges boxing gloves in Sumi-e ink or paint and then strikes paper or canvas. His artistic expression places him in the realm of Neo-Dadaism alongside figures like Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. This connection is apparent not only in his utilisation of everyday materials but also in his performative approach to painting. #PerformanceArtHistory #ShinoharaUshio #BoxingPainting Footage: Shinohara Ushio, ‘Boxing Painting’, 1960.
