About KennaXu Gallery 아트 갤러리

KennaXu 갤러리는 중국 선전의 오래된 주거 단지에 위치한 아트 갤러리다. 223제곱미터 규모의 공간은 좁고 어두운 두 개의 층으로 이루어진 옛 주택을 개조한 것이다. 흰색이 주된 색상으로, 간결하면서도 포용적인 배경을 만들어 전시된 회화 작품의 색채와 구성을 돋보이게 한다. 사용된 재료로는 라텍스 페인트, 멤브레인, 목재 바닥재, 초투명 유리, 백색 타일, 백색 스테인리스 스틸이 있다. 독특한 형태의 창들은 빛과 외부의 소리를 실내로 끌어들여 갤러리를 지역 공동체의 일상과 연결한다.

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.
