Louise Noguchi (born 1958)[1] is a multidisciplinary visual artist in Toronto who for five decades has used video, photography, sculpture, and installation to examine notions of identity, perception and reality.
In 1999, she co-authored Compilation Portraits - Louise Noguchi with Kym Pruesse and Suzanne Luke (Robert Langen Gallery).
In the 1990s, she explored the language of violence which is concealed in the Wild West mythology of rodeo cowboys, trick roping, sharp shooting, gun spinning and knife throwing.
[6] In a series in 2013, Noguchi has taken archival digital prints of the Royal Ontario Museum's collection of Buddha heads that were broken or sawed off by thieves and vandals, but had been part of rock walls at various religious sites in China.
[16] In 2020, she was in a group show titled Next Year's Country, linked with artists as seemingly distant as William Kurelek at Remai Modern, Saskatoon.
