Pro Tip of the Week

Color Palette

Lawrence colors are as unique and distinctive as the logo. Consistent use of Lawrence’s official colors is required in all communications. No variation is acceptable for use with the Lawrence logo except black and white.

LU NAVY C100 M88 Y42 K52 R0 G12 B52 HEX #000C35 PMS 282	BLUE C100 M90 Y0 K0 R33 G64 B154 HEX #213F99 PMS 072	GOLD C11 M39 Y100 K0 R227 G159 B0 HEX #E39F00 PMS 130

Since colors often shift depending on the medium or reproduction method, specific designations have been identified:

CMYK and PMS (print)
RGB and HEX (digital needs such as web, ppt presentations, and video)

CMYK refers to the four ink plates used in some color printing: cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black). CMYK is used for projects designed to be physically printed, not viewed on a screen.	RGB is a color model referring to red, green, and blue. RGB is best for websites and digital communications.
PMS refers to the Pantone Color System. It is a standardized color matching system, which allows you to specify colors that cannot be mixed in traditional CMYK. These references are best for branding where perfect color matches are critical.	HEX refers to a hexadecimal way to represent a color in RGB by combining three values: red, green, and blue.

The main difference between CMYK and PMS is the level of accuracy when it comes to the final color. Pantone will deliver the exact color every time, whereas CMYK can result in slight color variances.
There is no informational difference between RGB and HEX colors. They are simply different ways of communicating the same thing.

Winter 2024 Art Exhibitions

January 12 – March 8

Cori Nakamura Lin, BAKEKUJIRA from The Night Parade, 2023

Cori Nakamura Lin, The Night Parade

Leech Gallery

What is an identity, but a story of self? As an artist with cultural ties to multiple empires, I am unwinding the mythologies of United States and Japanese nationalism that I’ve been taught, and am weaving new stories to tell about myself and my people. In the diaspora, I both yearn towards the past, longing for a stronger connection to my ancestors, and towards the future, desperately envisioning a future where me and my communities are rooted deeply enough in order to withstand the coming climate hardship. In this tension between past and future, I paint yōkai, the strange spirit creatures of Japanese myth.

Yōkai are not exactly ghost, or monster, or spirit, but a wide umbrella category holding all of these and more. I am drawn to these creatures’ tendency to inhabit in between space, and I paint them to help me release rage, evoke cycles, channel joy, and remember what’s been lost.

These paintings were originally commissioned as a set of 16 chapter headers for my sister Jami Nakamura Lin’s debut memoir The Night Parade (2023), published by Mariner HarperCollins. My goal in illustrating The Night Parade was to depict yōkai that had escaped the idealized, frozen concept of ancient Japan, and had re-rooted in the complexities of my second-and-fourth-generation Taiwanese, Japanese, and Okinawan American experience.

Kayla Bauer, The End of Somewhere

Hoffmaster Gallery

The End of Somewhere uses San Francisco as a vehicle to explore multiplicities of identity, memory, and history; Kayla Bauer works with photography, text, and found imagery to create fragmentary narratives that may or may not be rooted in reality. Bauer is currently completing a Ph.D at UW-Madison and her MFA thesis exhibition, I Left My Heart…, was awarded the 2022 Russell and Paula Panczenko Prize.

Senga Nengudi, A.C.Q. – Cross Eyed; A.C.Q. – Cross Ban; A.C.Q. – Cross Waves, 2016-17, Refrigerator parts and nylon pantyhose, on loan from Art Bridges AB.2017.12

Organic / Inorganic

Kohler Gallery

An exhibition of sculptural works curated around Senga Nengudi’s multi-part A.C.Q. (Air Conditioning Queen), on loan from the Art Bridges Foundation. A.C.Q. is a mixed-media installation, composed of found metal refrigerator parts and donated second-hand nylon pantyhose. This juxtaposition of the rigid-industrial-abstract and the elastic-intimate-human give us a means to think through ideas about gender and resilience. Sculpture and installation pieces by Monty Little, Anna Campbell, and Callie Kiesow present similarly startling juxtapositions, with isolated elements of the human body paired with and disrupted by pattern and abstraction; they also offer expansive ways of thinking about how these formal cues signal larger ideas about identity and survival.
