Made from premium heavyweight canvas, this exclusive and reversible tote is screen printed with images of Pokémon card-inspired paintings by Katherine Bernhardt. The compositions reflect the artist's continued exploration of imagery inspired by her own life and the broader culture, rendered using the signature elements of her exuberant style.

Printed both inside and out, the bag features four images from the artist's most recent solo show at David Zwirner in Hong Kong. This is the second run of the highly-coveted Evolution Tote and is an unnumbered, open edition. Not pictured here: the open edition has a black tag accented with a white Platform logo and artist signature.

Katherine Bernhardt’s boundless visual appetite has established her as one of the most energetic painters working today. Based in St. Louis, MO, with a BFA and MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the School of Visual Arts, respectively, Bernhardt arranges unlikely visual combinations within expansive fields of vibrant color. Bernhardt’s trust in the fundamental underpinnings of painting gives her the freedom to depict anything she wants democratically, with an ever-expanding list of quotidian motifs such as tacos, coffee makers, toilet paper, cigarettes, mushrooms, E.T., Garfield, Darth Vader, and the Pink Panther. With liberal use of spray paint, puddles of thinned-out acrylic, and utilitarian brushwork, Bernhardt’s process is improvisational and loose, inviting chance into the works, as well as asserting an equal relationship between artist and material.
