Katherine Bernhardt, along with six other international artists, were asked to create a print for Choose Love. A third of the profits from the sale of each print will be benefit Choose Love – providing vital support to refugees and displaced people worldwide.
Bernhardt began painting the Pink Panther after she arrived at the Pink Palace Hotel (also called the Royal Hawai’ian Hotel) located on a sandy beach in Waikiki, Oahu. The hotel featured pink bathroom towels, pink sheets, pink eye masks for sleeping, pink carpeting, pink beach chairs, pink beach towels, pink stationery, pink sunsets, pink pancakes at breakfast, and the Pink Panther on TV screens. After Bernhardt repeatedly watched videos of the panther - lounging atop a huge pink bed and while strolling around the hotel grounds her son, Khalifa continued to watch Pink Panther videos from a cell phone - she decided that the panther could look great on large-scale canvas and lithographs too.
For this new print, Humid (2024), edition of 125, Bernhardt holds at its centre the infamous Pink Panther, a long-standing repeated motif in Bernhardt's work. In Humid, Bernhardt situates the cartoon character amongst her signature palette of electrifying colours and against the modernist grid of the shower in her studio in St. Louis. Mushrooms proliferate across the surface of this composition, as Bernhardt ignores logical scale shifts and perspective.
