Art-partners worked in close conjunction with the design team, architect KPF, and lighting consultant LKL, to define artworks that would match their design concept. Utilizing the surrounding natural environment, and the traditional five Chinese elements– metal, wood, water, fire, and earth– to profoundly harmonise pure artistic forms with the architects’ design visions, a unique theme-based art space was created. Art-partners engaged in the overall art strategy, curatorial themes, artist selection, commissioning work development, procurement, shipment, installation, documentation, artists’ media interviews, and aftercare. Recently installed artworks include Zheng Lu, Zhou Li, Alison Crowther, Huang Yu-Chih, Tsang Chui Mei, and others.
As an art consultant for the One Shenzhen Bay Central Plaza sculpture project, Art-partners utilized its experience, knowledge, and network of international artists, to recommend several artists to the client, proposing artworks based around the theme of water. The final commissioned work— inspired by the water element of One Shenzhen Bay— combines tradition and modernity through the imagery of an abstracted dragon emerging from the water to symbolise prosperity.
