Shinohara's Boxing Painting performance, 9/29

On September 29, 2012, in conjunction with the exhibition Shinohara Pops! at The Dorsky Museum and NYCAS 2012 at SUNY New Paltz, Ushino Shinohara gave a Boxing Painting performance at FAB building's Rotunda.

Shinohara's 1966 print Doll Festival was prominently featured on NYCAS 2012's poster, as well as its program and folder.

Many students and visitors gathered together to see Shinohara's performance.

For this performance, Shinohara used a pair of black gloves, with sponge attached to them (usually he uses a red pair).

He used two colors for this performance: Cobalt Turquoise Light  and Thalo Green.

After the performance.

Look at a guy at lower right in a white T-shirt. He was boxed by Shinohara!

In place of his signature, Shinohara put two footprints (lower left).

You can see a YouTube video, too.

Interestingly, this post identifies Shinohara  as "boxer" not as "painter"!!!
