林瑞華是一位傳統陶出身的陶藝工作者，素樸、單純、認真、執著，30年來，他在陶瓷未知世界不斷探索，開創了一個藝術的全新領域。這位先行者用高溫柴燒，反轉古典陶瓷的美學，揚棄了日式侘寂的審美與現代陶藝的釉藥表現。

他用土、用柴、用他的雙手，一點一滴專注地與窯火對話，在看似粗曠的外型卻蘊含細微萬千變化，例如1300℃-1360℃白玉質感、結晶花、琥珀色、翡翠色；1380℃-1450℃如古玉般溫潤，紋理有冰裂紋、金絲紋、豹紋等，光澤有銀光、貝殼光、珍珠彩光；1500℃以上為人類全新待探索的溫層，而林瑞華正是邁向未來陶第一人。

他的作品呈現的–釉母–質變的藝術，在本次「藝之獨秀」個展中，將詮釋土與火藝術新思維，表現「土礦」的極致、「窯火」的情感！深刻反思人類文明，從林瑞華的創作與實踐中，找到一種人類創造物質、追求美好生命的新方向。

 Jui Hwa Lin is a ceramic artist who began his craft as a traditional potter. Unsophisticated, simplistic, dedicated, and persistent. For 30 years, he unceasingly explored the realm of the unknown in ceramics and pioneered an entirely new artistic territory. 

The innovative ceramist employs high temperature wood-firing, overturning the definition of beauty as told by classical ceramics, while sublation Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetics and the glaze expression of modern ceramic art. 

He uses the earth, wood, and his hands to concentrate on his dialogue with the fire gods. Though seemingly unpolished, his works are rife with subtle variations. For example, the white jade quality, crystalline patterns, amber and jade colors between 1300℃-1360℃; the warmth of antique jade, the ice crack, golden thread, and leopard skin patterns, and the silver, seashell, and pearl-like shine between 1380℃-1450℃; and the realm above 1500℃yet to be explored by mankind. And Lin will be the first person down the path toward future ceramics. 

His works, the Mother Glaze - the art of transformation, will be on display at this year’s ART SOLO - Contemporary Solo exhibition. There, he will offer his interpretation of new artistic concepts of fire and earth, expressing the ultimate in raw clay and the passion of kiln fire. From Lin’s creations and practices, we can reflect deeply on human culture, we can  find a new direction with which mankind creates substances and seek a better life.
