Katherine Bernhardt frequently incorporates the Pink Panther in her artworks, reinterpreting the beloved cartoon character within her vibrant, pop-infused style. By featuring him in her large-scale paintings alongside everyday objects like fruit, tropical plants, and consumer items, Bernhardt blurs the line between high art and popular culture. Her Pink Panther is often rendered in exaggerated, playful forms, highlighting her loose brushwork and bright color palette. This approach turns the Pink Panther into an icon of consumerism and nostalgia, capturing a sense of humor and whimsy while also subtly critiquing the commercialization and ubiquity of familiar cultural symbols
