小早川智里（こばやかわ・ちさと、1997年広島県生まれ）は、日々の気配や生命の循環を見つめながら、素朴で詩的な陶作品を制作している。比治山大学短期大学部美術専攻科(2018)を修了後、佐賀大学有田セラミック科(2020)で陶芸を学ぶ。2022年より広島県安芸太田町に移住し、自然に寄り添う暮らしとともに制作を続けている。
初期の代表作《おしまいの壺》は、個人の記憶と再生の物語を宿す象徴的な作品として知られ、2025年の個展「わたしが産むときめた“たまご”」で再び発表された。日常の中に潜む小さな営みや命の兆しをすくい取り、あたたかなフォルムで造形する。
Chisato Kobayakawa (b. 1997, Hiroshima) is a ceramic artist whose practice reflects the quiet rhythms of daily life and the cycles of nature and birth.
After completing her studies at Hijiyama University Junior College,(2018) she graduated from the Arita Ceramics Program at Saga University in 2020. In 2022, she relocated to the rural town of Akiōta in Hiroshima, where she lives and works closely with the surrounding natural environment.
Her early large-scale piece The Ending Jar served as a symbolic vessel of memory and transformation, and was later revisited in her 2025 solo exhibition The Egg I Decided to Lay. Kobayakawa’s work often draws from personal experiences, gently tracing themes of life, regeneration, and subtle emotional landscapes through soft, organic forms.
