On June 5, LS Electric announced that it would be holding the first exhibition of Green Canvas, its art group for artists with developmental disabilities, at Ieum Gallery in Jongno-gu, Seoul, until the 6th. This exhibition features more than 30 paintings and installation works by 10 artists with developmental disabilities who are members of Green Canvas.

At the front of the exhibition hall, visitors are greeted by a large collaborative artwork, "LS Electric to the World," completed by the artists together. The headquarters, major business sites, and global campuses of LS Electric, depicted in unique colors and forms by the artists, are arranged along a world map. Each piece is connected by illuminated wiring, visually representing the power grid that brightens and connects the world.

In particular, this piece is designed as an interactive exhibition in which visitors can directly participate. The lighting shines brightest when visitors maintain an appropriate distance from the artwork—not too close and not too far—and when multiple people stand together, the light expands more widely. This delivers a message of "respect" and "empathy." Just as electric energy only illuminates when connections are made, the piece suggests that people, too, can create greater hope and energy through interest and communication with each other.

Elsewhere in the gallery, individual works reflecting each artist's unique perspective and personality are also on display. These include: ▲"Rhythm of Primary Colors, World of Straight Lines" (by Heeseong Lee) ▲"Garden Beyond Imagination" (by Hyunjoo Lee) ▲"A Forest Path Where Sunlight Lingers" (by Soyoung Yoon) ▲"Stories Told by Flowers and Mountains" (by Pureum Lim) ▲"A Day in Blue Seoul" (by Sungyeol Ko) ▲"Song of Green Life" (by Seonghwan Shin) ▲"Journey of the Rainbow Sea" (by Minju Kim) ▲"A World Created by Colors Coming Together" (by Yeonjun Kim) ▲"A Village Where Love Blooms" (by Yejin Shin) ▲"House of Serenity, Tree of Rest" (by Hyemin Han).

Kyutae Choi, Director at LS Electric, said, "Just as electricity brightens and connects the world, we hope this exhibition will help spread the dreams and potential of artists with disabilities to more people. We will continue to create a corporate culture where anyone can connect with society and grow through their talents, by expanding employment of people with disabilities and supporting stable creative activities."

Meanwhile, last year LS Electric founded Green Canvas and hired 10 artists with severe developmental disabilities as employees to promote employment, vocational rehabilitation, and social awareness for people with disabilities through culture and the arts. The company continues to support these artists so they can pursue stable creative activities as professionals.
