栗木達介作 銀緑彩文扁壺|Vase with silver-painted linear design

Kuriki Tatsusuke

1988 · Stoneware with paper-resist slip decoration and thin silver glaze · Asian Art

Kuriki viewed the curvilinear shapes of his works as integral to the designs on their surfaces. In his late pieces he explored the use of wide, interlacing bands on round, sometimes slightly asymmetrical forms. Sensitive to the aesthetic potential of the conventional vessel form, Kuriki used refined and precise techniques inspired by traditional porcelain.
