Contribution

Contemporary ceramic artist Jackson Li is the founder of the Post Royal china ware movement. Through deconstructing and reconstructing strategies, Jackson transformed Chinese ceramic traditions, stimulating people to reevaluate and contemplate the meaning of tradition.

Jackson's works are categorized as Post Royal china ware after 2000, after then he focuses on reassembling and compressing elements from utilitarian, symbolic, functional, burial, religious, and folk iconography. These free, tactile, spontaneous works reflect the long traditions of official ceramic art in China, such as Cizhou and Yaozhou wares.

In contrast to the wide range of wares of the common people, the "Royal china ware,"was renowned for its requiring of high firing temperature, elegant, precise, refined character, and quality. In recent years, Jackson devoted himself to rediscovering and reinterpreting this classic ceramic art of China. He applied these methods in his works, and the result is his Post Royal china ware.
