Gene Friley was an Ohio ceramicist known for figurative sculptures, organic designs, and two-dimensional wall pieces. As a mature artist, Friley experimented with additional mediums such as concrete and plaster, to complete his sculptural work.
In an interview with theColumbus Dispatch, for his 2010 show ?Garden Delights? at Ohio State University, Friley stated that nature ?is the source of all art. I like organic things, earthy substances, textures, and hills[1].? No matter the medium Friley stated that he always returned to the same governing philosophy that ?nature is the prime teacher? of all art[2].
Friley became an influential professor of ceramics at Ohio State University. Ohio State University was a pioneering school in ceramic engineering and in 1927 was one of the first schools to establish ceramics as fine art, separate from the ceramic engineering program.
