life and work

Haraguchi was born in 1946 in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture. He graduated from Nihon University with a degree in art with a focus on oil painting . He lives and works in Zushi , Japan.

Haraguchi is counted as part of the Mono-ha artist movement . A principle of this movement is to create an interplay between natural and industrial materials. The materials used are glass, stones, steel plates, wood, cotton, light bulbs, leather, oil, wire and Japanese paper . These materials are presented both indoors and outdoors.

“The Japanese artist Noriyuki Haraguchi has been installing puristically precise, rectangular tubs in various places and filling them with oil for almost forty years. In doing so, he takes up a traditional Japanese motif and alludes to the deep black lacquered surfaces in temple buildings in his homeland. The flat oil areas also draw a direct line to the lakes of Japanese gardens , which are laid out according to the philosophy of Zen Buddhism in such a way that the surroundings are reflected in their surface.
