In our latest exhibition, 18-1750, we showcased the empowerment and vibrant energy of one of nature's most significant tones. Inspired by Pantone's selection of a unique shade of magenta, drawn from the cochineal red, renowned for its potency and vibrancy, the show delved into the essence of this captivating color.

Imagine the bold amalgamation of reds found within the intricate core of a lily or the subtle hues that play tricks on the eyes. Magenta, with its absence of a distinct wavelength, emerges as a luminous and dynamic color, bridging the spectrum of the rainbow. It holds singular power while acting as a unifying force for the natural world.

For artists eager to explore the nuances of 18-1750, it was imperative to delve into both the physical and psychological interpretations of this color. Kamagraph extended an invitation to these artists to explore Viva Magenta! aka 18-1750 on blank skateboard decks, promising a show not to be missed for collectors enamored with color.

The Kamagraph team presented this exhibition at Sunday Service Moto Co. in Albuquerque, with an opening reception held on June 10, 2023, from 5-10 pm. The event was free and open to the public, offering attendees the chance to immerse themselves in the vivid world of magenta.
