大芬油画村
点位简介：
大芬油画村位于深圳市龙岗区布吉街道，核心面积仅0.4平方公里，却以“中国油画第一村”闻名全球。1989年，香港画商黄江看中这里低廉的成本和毗邻香港的优势，带领画工批量临摹世界名画并销往海外。鼎盛时期，全球70%的油画产自中国，其中80%来自大芬村。如今这里不仅是产业高地——拥有1200余家画廊、8000名从业者，带动周边2万人就业，更成为艺术生活融合的典范。
Located in Longgang District, Shenzhen, Dafen Oil Painting Village spans just 0.4 square kilometers but is globally acclaimed as the "Oil Painting Capital of China." In 1989, Hong Kong dealer Huang Jiang pioneered its industrialization by leveraging low costs and proximity to Hong Kong, leading artisans to mass-produce replica masterpieces for international markets. At its peak, 70% of the world's oil paintings originated from China, with Dafen contributing 80% of that output. Today, it stands as both an industrial powerhouse, hosting over 1,200 galleries and 8,000 artists while supporting 20,000 related jobs, and a model of art-life integration, where creative energy permeates every street and studio.

大芬美术馆
大芬美术馆于2007年由深圳市和龙岗市政府共同建设落成，占地约20,000平方米，是当时深圳展览面积最大的博物馆。2008年，大芬美术馆被《商业周刊》和《建筑实录》评选为“好设计创造好收益”中国奖——最佳公共建筑奖。博物馆见证了大芬村从OEM生产到活力创意艺术中心的转变。最初，当地艺术家专注于完成国内和国际的OEM订单。而后，原创艺术蓬勃发展，目前已有400多名艺术家居住在村里并进行原创作品创作。在大芬美术馆内，重点展示了更多当地艺术家创作的艺术作品，也展示了从“莫奈复制品”到“深圳印象”的转变。艺术家们的新兴风格反映了一种全新的身份，也重新定义了大芬形象。为了吸引更多有才华的画家，龙岗区政府在大芬油画村实施人才安居工程，以缓解画家们的生活压力。截至目前，已提供画家公寓268套。2013年5月，在深圳市人力资源和社会保障局的支持下，大芬油画村在国内率先举办了绘画职业技能竞赛，获奖者有资格享受深圳市的人才福利。
Founded in 2007, the Dafen Art Museum emerged as the village's first cultural manifesto—a space not merely for displaying artworks, but for its own identity: What defines Dafen?
Constructed by the Shenzhen and Longgang governments, the museum spans approximately 20,000 square meters, making it the largest museum by exhibition area in Shenzhen at that time. In 2008, Dafen Art Museum was selected a "Best Public Project" under the "Good Design is Good Business" China Awards Program by Business Week and Architectural Record.
The museum witnessed the transition from OEM production to a vibrant creative arts hub in the village. Initially, local artists focused on fulfilling domestic and international OEM orders. However, in recent years, the original art scene has flourished, with over 400 artists now residing in the village and producing their original artworks.
In the museum, exhibitions highlight more art pieces created by local artists, featuring the changes from Monet reproductions to "Impressions of Shenzhen." The artists emerging styles reflect a brand new identity, reshaping how Dafen sees itself.
To attract more talented painters, the Longgang Government built public rental houses and alleviated the living pressure of painters in Dafen Oil Painting Village. The project was later renamed "Houses for Talents in the Dafen Oil Painting Village, comprising 268 apartments.
In May 2013, with the support of Shenzhen Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, Dafen Oil Painting Village took the lead in China in holding a vocational skill competition for painting. The winners became eligible for Shenzhen's talent benefits.
太阳山艺术中心
太阳山艺术中心由油画家陈求之先生创立，融合了其童年记忆与艺术理想。2006年，陈求之在大芬租下了一栋被台风破坏的客家房屋，并将其修复为一座融合传统徽派客家风格和现代设计的工作室。工作室布局自然和谐，家具和装修材料均为从全国各地淘来的文物。陈求之将该中心描述为一件随着时间推移而不断演变的未完成作品，而非一个精心策划的空间。“太阳山”名字是为了纪念他小时候玩耍的山丘，也体现了他对中国传统美学的执着。艺术中心的画廊展览面积达3000多平方米，主要展出油画、当代水墨画、传统书画、雕塑、文创产品、装饰艺术、艺术策划等内容。与商业画廊不同，该中心作为文化交流中心运营，举办各类展览、沙龙和聚会，吸引了来自香港、澳门及各个地方的艺术家和游客。在深圳城市的快节奏中，“太阳山”为大众提供了一个艺术、生活和文化自由流动的宁静空间。
Founded by oil painter Chen Qiuzhi, the Sunrise Art Center merges childhood memories with artistic ideals. In 2006, Chen rented a Hakka house in Dafen, which had been damaged by a typhoon and restored it into a studio that fuses traditional Huizhou Hakka style and modern design. Its furniture and materials come from reclaimed relics across China, arranged in a naturally harmonious layout.
Chen describes the center as a living artwork rather than a curated space—an unfinished piece that evolves over time. The name "Sunrise Mountain" honors the hill where he played when he was a child and reflects his devotion to traditional Chinese aesthetics.
Covering an exhibition area of more than 3,000 square meters, the gallery is mainly engaged in oil painting, contemporary ink painting, traditional calligraphy and painting, sculpture, cultural and creative products, decorative arts, art planning.
Unlike commercial galleries, the center operates as a cultural exchange hub. It hosts exhibitions, salons, and gatherings, attracting artists and visitors from Hong Kong, Macao, and beyond. In the fast pace of urban Shenzhen, it offers a tranquil space where art, life, and culture flow freely.
TNT当代艺术空间
画框工厂老板冯健梅于2018年创立了TNT当代艺术空间。TNT占地2000平方米，提供了国际艺术家驻地和展览空间。该艺术空间与全球 100 多位当代艺术家建立了合作伙伴关系，并不断丰富其多样化的原创艺术品藏品。TNT现代化的展览空间满足了当代艺术展览的需求，包括装置、影像作品、纪录片项目，以及绘画、图像和雕塑等。空间主要展示中外驻地艺术家的油画、数码画等作品，让本土艺术家、文化从业者、艺术爱好者与外国艺术家能近距离接触。
“我们正在打造提升品牌，培养艺术家，汇聚世界一流的资源，”冯健梅表示，她的愿景是通过投资创新创意和原创作品来提升大芬的全球艺术影响力。
Feng Jianmei, the owner of a frame factory in Dafen, established the TNT Contemporary Art Space in 2018. Covering an area of 2,000 square meters, TNT provides international artist residencies and exhibition space. The facility has formed partnerships with over 100 contemporary artists from around the globe and has developed a diverse collection of original artworks.
The modern exhibition space meets the needs of contemporary art exhibitions, including installations, video works, documentary projects, as well as paintings, graphs and sculptures. The space mainly displays the oil paintings, digital paintings and other works of Chinese and foreign resident artists, so that local artists, cultural industry practitioners, and art enthusiasts can engage closely with foreign artists.
"We're enhancing the brand, training artists, and gathering world-class resources," Feng states. Her vision is to expand Dafen's global artistic influence by investing in innovation and authenticity.
新闻故事：
李昭燕和戴维的画廊
在大芬的1200家画廊中，有一家不仅讲述了一场艺术之旅，也讲述了一段浪漫之旅。中国艺术家李兆燕和英国画家大卫因对绘画的共同热情而相识，现在一起住在村里。来自广西的李，以怀旧的基调描绘了宁静的南方风景。2008 年，以其充满活力的西方调色板而闻名的大卫发现了李的画廊，并被她的艺术作品所吸引。尽管语言不通，他们还是通过艺术建立了联系，并于 2009 年在大芬美术馆举行了婚礼，60 位艺术家同行作为见证人。他们的画廊代表了大芬创意生态系统的一个缩影。每年，该村都会生产数百万幅油画，出口到世界各地。但正是小型独立画廊为这种独特的艺术经济提供动力。他们的风格不断独立发展，同时也相互影响。李专注于田园风光，而大卫则倾向于大胆、富有想象力的抽象。他们经常互相批评对方的作品，融合东西方的观点。2011年，在David的协助下，李氏成功在美国举办个展，在全球舞台上展示岭南风景。如今，David负责海外销售，而李则专注于原创作品。他们认为，大芬的优势在于能够将艺术精神与商业头脑融为一体，而深圳的开放性则不断吸引着来自世界各地的人才。他们的故事反映了大芬正在崛起的国际影响力。他们共同渴望看到画家在世界舞台上更加耀眼地闪耀，向全球观众展示中国的艺术创造力。
Among Dafen’s 1,200 galleries, one tells not only an artistic journey but also a romantic one. Chinese artist Li Zhaoyan and British painter David met through their shared passion for painting and are now living together in the village.
Li, from Guangxi, paints tranquil southern landscapes with a nostalgic tone. In 2008, David, known for his vibrant Western palette, discovered into Li’s gallery and was captivated by her artwork. Despite the language barrier, they connected through art and held their wedding at the Dafen Art Museum in 2009, with 60 fellow artists as witnesses.
Their gallery represents a microcosm of Dafen’s creative ecosystem. Each year, the village produces millions of oil paintings exported worldwide. But it's the small, independent galleries that power this unique art economy.
Their styles continue to evolve independently while also influencing one another. Li focuses on pastoral scenes, whereas David leans into bold, imaginative abstraction. They regularly critique each other’s work, blending Eastern and Western perspectives.
In 2011, with David's assistance, Li successfully held a solo exhibition in the U.S., showcasing Lingnan landscapes on a global stage. Today, David manages overseas sales while Li concentrates on original creations. They believe that Dafen’s strength lies in its ability to blend artistic spirit with commercial savvy while Shenzhen’s openness continues to attract attracting talented individuals from around the world.
Their story reflects Dafen's emerging international presence. Together, they aspire to see painters shine more brightly on the world stage, showcasing Chinese artistic creativity to a global audience.
