Lisa Simpson, watermelon, cantelope, cigarettes, and chapstick
2016
Katherine Bernhardt's painting combines pop culture imagery with everyday consumer objects, merging the animated figure of Lisa Simpson with mundane items like watermelon, cantaloupe, cigarettes, and chapstick in a vibrant composition. Working in acrylic and spray paint on canvas, Bernhardt employs bold colors and gestural mark making that reflect her engagement with contemporary consumer culture and cartoon aesthetics. The work exemplifies her practice of collaging recognizable cultural references and commercial products into energetic, large scale paintings that blur the boundaries between high art and popular imagery.
