“500 Years of Spanish Art, Completed in Color” ... SP Samhwa Sponsors Eco-Friendly Paint

[Financial News]
SP Samhwa (formerly SAMHWA PAINT INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.) continues to support cultural and artistic activities using eco-friendly paint. It is incorporating paint’s colors and spatial design functions into art exhibitions, enhancing visitors’ immersion in the works while expanding the range of applications for eco-friendly products.  According to industry sources on the 13th, SP Samhwa sponsored eco-friendly paint for the exhibition “500 Years of Spanish Art: A Chronicle of Light and Darkness,” being held at Seoul Arts Center in Seoul.
 The exhibition was organized to mark the 76th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Spain. It offers an overview of Spanish art spanning 500 years, from the 15th through the 20th century, through 95 major works of Spanish painting in the collection of the Hispanic Society Museum & Library in New York.
 The exhibition features art styles from different periods, including the Renaissance, Baroque, Romanticism and Impressionism. It also showcases works by masters representing Spanish art, including El Greco, Diego Velázquez, Francisco Goya and Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida.
 SP Samhwa provided paint in eight colors for the exhibition. A variety of hues, from deep and vivid to soft and warm, were used to convey the works’ historical contexts and artistic qualities. The wall colors in the exhibition space were coordinated with the works, with a focus on enhancing visitors’ immersion.
 SP Samhwa’s water-based paint “Aisaenggak Water-Based Interior Pro” was used in the exhibition space. The product is an eco-friendly paint that has received environmental-label certification and was developed for indoor use.
 The sponsorship is significant because it shows how paint can serve not only as a building finish but also as an element that shapes the setting in which artworks are viewed. It is also an example of using color to convey the mood of artworks while bringing eco-friendly products into cultural and artistic spaces.
 A spokesperson for SP Samhwa said, “Color is a medium that intuitively conveys the atmosphere of an era and an artist’s emotions,” adding, “We hope this sponsorship will allow the aesthetics of 500 years of Spanish art history to leave visitors with a lasting artistic impression.”
