ARTIST INFORMATION
愛知県瀬戸市に生まれる。1962年京都市立美術大学に入学し、富本憲吉、近藤悠三、藤本能道らに師事し、特に富本最後の学生として大きな影響を受けた。卒業後は、瀬戸に戻り作陶を始め、主に手捻りによる作品を発表し、朝日陶芸展においては三度の大賞を受賞した。また、日展などにおいても受賞を重ね、若年時からその実力が注目された。作品には富本から受け継いだデザインへの深い造詣が見られ、高い技術とストイックな姿勢に裏付けられた、複雑で完成度の高い新たな焼きものの造形のあり方を示した。1983年からは母校の京都市立芸術大学で教鞭をとり、後進の指導も積極的に行った。1980年以降は個展発表を主に、極めて寡作ながらも様々な活動を展開した。
Kuriki was born in Seto in 1943. He studied ceramics at Kyoto City University of Arts in 1962. Being the last student of Tomimoto Kenkichi he remained influenced by this master throughout his life. After graduation, Kuriki returned to Seto to start his career as a ceramist. By improving the quality of clay and kiln, Kuriki devised the complexity of form with protrusions and depressions thus opening a new direction in ceramic art. His insightful and highly accomplished works with an excellent technique and astute sensibility awarded him various important prize and unanimous critical acclaim. In 1983, he returned to his alma mater to teach, where he became a professor in 1993, energetically working to foster a new generation. Though Kuriki produced an extensive range of work since his first solo exhibition in 1980, he remained an unprolific artist who uncompromisingly pursued perfection. His sudden death in 2013 was greatly lamented by the whole ceramic public.
