In Celebration of Saint Patrick’s day we are spotlighting the groundbreaking exhibition with ART FOR CHANGE artist Kathernie Bernhardt and Jeremy Scott. The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art is thrilled to present a exhibition that delves into the shared inspirations linking Bernhardt’s vibrant paintings with Scott’s iconic fashion designs. Bernhardt’s work is characterized by dynamic, colorful compositions that blend everyday symbols—like Windex bottles, McDonald’s golden arches, and Lucky Charms cereal—with pop culture references, including characters from The Simpsons, E.T., and The Pink Panther. Through repetition, these elements form striking patterns that transform kitsch into fine art. At the core of both Bernhardt’s and Scott’s creative visions lie thought-provoking questions: Who decides the boundaries between high and low art? How does the transformation of mass-produced consumer goods into art and fashion reshape their meaning? Do their works serve as clever social commentary, or are they a bold challenge to conventional notions of taste and beauty. |

Currently on display in Match Made in Heaven at The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Katherine Bernhardt’s Lucky Charms Are Magically Delicious reimagines the beloved character from E.T. (1982), surrounded by the iconic marshmallow cereal pieces familiar to generations of American consumers. A nostalgic and influential figure from Bernhardt’s childhood, E.T. first appeared in her work during her undergraduate years at the Art Institute of Chicago and has remained a recurring motif ever since.
