About KennaXu Gallery Художественная галерея
KennaXu Gallery — художественная галерея, расположенная в старом жилом квартале Шэньчжэня (Китай). Пространство площадью 223 квадратных метра было создано на месте бывшего жилого помещения, занимавшего два узких и слабо освещённых этажа. Доминирующий белый цвет формирует лаконичный и нейтральный фон, который раскрывает колорит и композицию экспонируемых картин. В отделке использованы латексная краска, мембрана, деревянные полы, сверхпрозрачное стекло, белая плитка и белая нержавеющая сталь. Окна необычной формы впускают внутрь свет и звуки улицы, связывая галерею с повседневной жизнью квартала.

- 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.
