Kaori Kurihara was born in Japan in 1987 and lives and works in Paris. She studied ceramics in Osaka and Kyoto and graduated from the École des Beaux Arts de Versailless. In 2015, Kaori received the prestigious Prix de la Jeune Création Métiers d’Art des Ateliers d’Art de France.
Kaori’s work is inspired by nature and in particular by geometric repetitions and ornamentations of plants. It is the coexistence of regularities and irregularities in flowers and vegetables that fascinates the artist. The organic sculptures are a mixture of realism and fantasy. The designs are realistic compositions of flowers and fruits, and seem alive.
