"Katherine Bernhardt's new sculpture "What’s Up" Mickey has a childlike touch. Many of Katherine Bernhardt’s paintings had used Mickey as a focus. The artist's painting style has often been described as art created by a “kindergarten student”. Do not be mistaken by this style. In fact, she has a master degree from one of the best art universities - the School of Visual Art, New York. Creating art as this is not an easy task. In this production of craftsmanship, Katherine Bernhardt’s artworks showcases child-like fun. The artist likes her art not to be retouched and showcases this imperfection through flowing paint, with excess traces of ink and splashes."
