Momoyo Torimitsu is an artist who considers the various social phenomena of her time and presents, through formal means, an opportunity for the viewer to reexamine society and life. Torimitsu's work deals a blow to cuteness with the toughness in her as an artist. Torimitsu's use of the bunny form describes a 'skepticism of what is small and cute, what needs protection, and is uncorrupted, pure and innocent.' The bunny work also is a comment of the cramped living quarters in Tokyo, once dubbed 'rabbit hunches.'

Torimitsu was born in Tokyo in 1967 and currently resides in New York. She has recently exhibited at Art Basel/Miami, Gallerie Xippas, Paris, Deitch Projects, New York, Kunstmuseum Lucern, Zurich, Switzerland, The Museum of Modern Art Roma, Rome, and the Des Moines Center for Contemporary Art, IA. She is represented in New York by Deitch Projects.
