'The Bull' is a performance artist, the film shows him in full boxing attire punching a blank canvas. He was a prominent figure in the avant-garde and one of the founding members of the Neo-Dadaism Organizers in the 1950's & 60's.
The instinctual mark making and the performance itself can re-adjust the constraints of painterly art practice. Still paying homage to the gestures and passion that painters use in their work, such sculptures as the Skelton Rider Licking Strawberry Ice Cream Accompanied by Woman, Rabbit, and Frog (Just After Terrorist Attack on New York), 2004 shows the referencial methods and style of artists that 'The Bull' admired.
Shinohara was a post-war child who's parents instilled a love for Van Gogh, Cezanne and Gauguin. He found a deep relationship with the culture that had defeated his country and developed the Americanisation and disregard for social convention within it.
