CONCRETE JUNGLE JUNGLE LOVE | KATHERINE BERNHARDT
Lever House Art Collection, NYC
April - August 2018
CURATED BY ROYA SACHS
————————CONCRETE JUNGLE JUNGLE LOVE is a site-specific installation by New York based artist Katherine Bernhardt (b. 1975). The explosively colorful exhibition playfully fused imagery and objects of modern culture with that of the tropics. The commission witnessed Bernhardt's first departure from canvas, pulling motifs out of her paintings and giving audiences a unique three-dimensional experience of her work. A combination of acrylic and spray paint canvases, dyed interactive soft sculptures, and a concrete block plant installation, the show's multi-medium elements served as a whimsical juxtaposition to the modernist architecture of the space.
