“1342ºC”是烧制陶瓷时的最高窑温。以“1342ºC”作为刘建华最新个展的题目和对应OCAT深圳馆艺术家个案研究系列，意味着他的这次展览作品以“陶瓷”为媒介的规定性，而陶瓷材质和窑变的不确定特点，恰好可以比附刘建华多年利用陶瓷进行不断艺术实验的“熔点”过程和结果，也涉及到他在中国当代艺术生态中一个视觉“燃点”的活跃程度。

刘建华将传统与当代、自然与日常的态度和感受沉淀为这些陶瓷“物品”的釉面底色，以返璞归真和浑然天成的实验方式，在既熟悉又陌生的隔空里，呈现出人与物之间具体而微的日常生活之中。并超然物外地体悟出耐人寻味的视觉认知，抑或透过时光的浮尘去发现、思考我们习以为常的现实处境。

1342ºC is the highest temperature when firing ceramics. The exhibition title, 1342ºC is part of the series of case study research that has been undertaken by the OCAT Shenzhen, indicating how Liu Jianhua is working within and against the limits of "porcelain" as a medium, as well as the unpredictability of materials and firing process. This also invokes Liu Jianhua's years of ongoing artistic experimentation with the process and results of "melting points" and relating to his active "igniting point" within the context of contemporary Chinese art.

In Liu Jianhua's porcelains, the traditional and the contemporary, as well as the natural and everyday attitudes and feelings have been sedimented into the glazed background of these "objects." His experimental method comprises a return to nature that allows him to present people and objects in a space that is simultaneously familiar and strange, revealing the slight but specific relationships between people and their objects in everyday life. In addition, the outside world achieves a new form for visual cognition, or rather, we pass through the dust of time to discover and rethink about the world as we know it. 收起
