Description Katherine Bernhardt presents our favorite things: ocean life, fruit, sunshine, cigarettes, Nike shoes and soda. Some of these things are better for us than others of course; her recent paintings like Climate Change , 2017 weighed consumer detritus against tropical birds. In this print, however, it’s all good within a swirling amalgam of splashing sea turtles and ripe bananas. This print series was created for the infamous Bahamas Ocean Club, a tony resort on Paradise Island that served as backdrop for a scintillating card game in 2006’s James-Bond reboot “Casino Royale.” This print takes a position, all flush with the Bahamas’ best stuff. Artist Bio Katherine Bernhardt American • 1975 Follow Katherine Bernhardt whether in her paintings or make-shift Moroccan rugs, is rapt by neons and geometries. The artist, who works in New York, takes an almost hasty-flick of a brushstroke that lands as a jagged architectural form — figures cut in space and in buzzing colors that leave a mental trace. Seemingly each month, multiple galleries, museums or art fairs across the world exhibit Bernhardt's large-scale fantasies and rug-centric installations, as seen in 2017 at Art Basel and with a solo retrospective at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Fort Worth. "I think the best painters don't intellectualize their own art—they just make stuff," she says; but with sharks circling trash in the water in today's climate, as is depicted in Sharks, Toilet Paper and Plantains , it's not hard to see Bernhardt's deeper meanings.
