Zhuhai’s New Art-and-Life style Statement

With its wonderful geographical setting Coastal Park is the ideal, welcoming gateway, creating a lively, modern-art scene and funky junction where vibrant economic development and technology can mix up with the city’s maritime culture to produce a truly impressive showcase for the city’s progressive, long-term development. It brings cultural and avant-gard artists together into one area, attracting strong interest, not only in Zhuhai, but from other cities and countries worldwide.

Opened in 2018 in the Gree Coast area in Tangjiawan as the city’s first coastal art space, Coastal Park is truly artsy and lively”Utopia”where”free souls”belong. Nestled along a 1.5km stretch of the city’s mesmerizing coastline where the historical remnants of Tangjiawan and the energy of the ocean intermingle, it encompasses an array of delightful facilities and features Coast Gallery, Coast Bookstore and Coast Cinema, and offers a tantalizing glimpse into the city’s latest art-and-lifestyle scene.

The Coast Gallery is undoubtedly the most striking building in the Coast Park sprawl.

The large, futuristic space, dominated by its arch, is drenched in the purity of white, flavored by aesthetic details plucking at the long-lost innocence in the hearts of visitors and making urban numbness impossible. The smooth curves that merge the roof, floor and the walls into one unit seem to be gravitydefying and magically eliminate all boundaries. The glass windows flood the space with brilliant light. The gentle flow of air preps every visitor for entering into a brand new dimension where art and life is as indivisible as flesh and blood.

The lighting of the gallery is streamlined with the structural layout, following the visitor like a gentle halo and creating charming feeling throughout the visitor’s route among the space’s various areas. The intoxicating cool-dark blends into the illumination at the gallery’s souvenir shop, easing into a stream of light rays-hope from the power of art-at the end of the tunnel.

Here, people with a passion for beauty congregate to break boundaries and indulge in expressive freedom, to present the originality and charm of modern art in a way that cannot be experienced in other art spaces. Striving to embrace the spirit of “no boundaries”, the gallery is open to all artists attempting to express their message in and about this changing world, regardless of social status and backgrounds.

The works in the collection of the gallery are not in imitation of Western art or repetitions of traditional works. Instead they seek to overcome the existing framework of art. Exhibitions are rich in depth and quality, and wide in scope. It is an interactive gallery-a place of meeting, understanding each other and creating together.
