Noriko Shinohara (born 1953 in Takaoka, Japan) [1] is a Japanese-American multi-disciplinary fine artist based in Brooklyn, New York. She is known for her semi- autobiographical drawing and printmaking series "Cutie & Bullie". She has had several international gallery and museum exhibitions including in Tokyo, New York City, Dallas, Kraków, Ottawa and more. [2] [3]
Shinohara and her husband, Ushio, are the subjects of a documentary film by Zachary Heinzerling called Cutie and the Boxer (2013). [4] [5]
Shinohara moved to New York City at the age of 19, in the early 1970s, in order to study art at the Art Students League of New York. [6] [7] A few months after arriving in the city, she met the artist Ushio who was 21 years her senior. [8] Within the next few years they were married and together they had a son born in 1974, Alexander Kūkai Shinohara. [6] [8] In 2013, the couple and their son appeared in Cutie and the Boxer, a documentary about their art and family life directed by Zachary Heinzerling. [9]
The nickname "Cutie" started in 2002 at the age of 49, when Shinohara was wearing her hair in two braids and a young man on the street called out to her, "hey cutie". [10] The nickname stuck after that event. [10]
She started creating the drawing series after complaining about her husband to a friend, who quipped that she should "punish him" as a dominatrix would do. [10] Finding this idea amusing, in 2003-2004 she started drawing images of Cutie punishing Bullie and sending them to the friend who had made the joke. [10] Initially only Cutie was named in the drawings, which were formatted as six-frame comics, but by 2007 she named Bullie, and slowly it became a story about both Cutie and Bullie. [10]
In 1986, she held her first solo exhibition at the Cat Club in New York City. [11] In 2016, she held a solo exhibition at the Carleton University Art Gallery in Ottawa, Canada, [12]
Punish him! Wear like a dominatrix and punish him with 16 inches of dildo.
