About KennaXu Gallery Galeriya sa Arte

Ang KennaXu Gallery usa ka galeriya sa arte nga nahimutang sa usa ka daan nga residential community sa Shenzhen, China. Ang 223 metro kuadrado nga luna gigamit gikan sa usa ka kanhi residensya nga adunay duha ka pig-ot ug ngitngit nga andana. Ang puti mao ang nag-unang kolor, nga naghimo og yano ug maabiabihon nga background nga nagpakita sa kolor ug komposisyon sa mga gipasundayag nga painting. Ang mga materyales naglakip sa latex paint, membrane, salog nga kahoy, ultra-clear glass, puti nga tile, ug puti nga stainless steel. Ang talagsaon nga mga bintana nagdala og kahayag ug mga tingog gikan sa gawas, nga naglambigit sa galeriya sa adlaw-adlaw nga kinabuhi sa komunidad.

Design Challenge
There were also some unfavorable conditions as converting the former residence into an art space. The original space consisted of two floors, which were narrow and dim. The first floor had a low ceiling, looking like a storeroom, while the second floor featured an old-styled, disordered and fragmented spatial pattern. The overall space looked so different from an art space.
Research
The building, constructed in the 1990s within an old community, is the place where the gallery owner Kenna Xu spent his childhood. It carries his deep affection for Shenzhen, and also breeds his dream of establishing a contemporary art gallery that finds a foothold in the local area and pursues global visibility.
Inspiration
The space is dominated by white hue, which produces a modern, simplistic spatial tone as well as an inclusive backdrop that reveals the authenticity of things. It can fully display the color, composition, aesthetics and thinking of exhibited paintings. The design incorporates a sense of "emptiness" to create a free and serene ambience, with a view to enabling harmonious interaction between light and shadow, nature and artworks, and thereby achieving the beauty of art.
Project Duration
The project started in November, 2018 and finished in September, 2019 in the Intersection of Yitian Road and Fuqiang Road, Futian District, Shenzhen, China.
Operation Flow
The unique windows shake off traditional designs, and act as openings for conveying messages. Meanwhile, those structures bring in the daily chatter of residents, sounds of footsteps and birdsong from outdoor groves, which become background music for the art space. The gallery seems to grow here and closely integrates with the old community.
