Gallery SP is a contemporary art gallery in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, located on the hillside near Namsan and the Grand Hyatt Seoul.

From Printmaking to Contemporary Art

Gallery SP traces its history to Seoul Print, which was founded in 1989 and focused on printmaking production and distribution.

After moving and developing into a formal gallery, its program expanded beyond prints to include painting, sculpture, ceramics, craft and other three-dimensional work.

Today, the gallery continues to present contemporary Korean artists while maintaining its connection to the history of printmaking.


A Quiet, Room-by-Room Viewing Experience

Unlike a large open museum hall, Gallery SP offers a more intimate viewing experience.

The gallery is arranged across multiple rooms, allowing visitors to move slowly between different works and exhibition sections.

This domestic-scale layout can make the visit feel more focused and personal.


Contemporary Korean Artists

Gallery SP has long introduced both established and younger Korean artists through exhibitions and art-fair participation.

Depending on the current program, visitors may encounter two-dimensional works alongside sculpture, ceramics or craft-based pieces.

The changing exhibitions mean there is no fixed permanent collection, so checking the current show before visiting is recommended.


A Hidden Art Stop near Namsan

The gallery is located on a quiet hillside in the Itaewon and Namsan area rather than on a major commercial street.

This makes it more of a destination visit, but also gives the space a calm atmosphere away from the busier parts of central Seoul.
