Loyal gallery presented Katherine Bernhardt’s exhibition "NOMAD" in the following way:
"Bernhardt’s paintings balance between composed and wild. And there’s a rhythmical positioning to her quick, elegant slashes and broad, bold strokes which intersect the canvas in swaths. Every feature — an arm, an elbow sinking into a pose, pink cheeks, a blue jacket — are broken down to their key elements of pattern, color and form. Bernhardt organizes these elements, like delicately stacked weighted objects, to build her figures.
There is a second theme in the show, and here perhaps the structural aspects shine through even stronger. What appear to be free-floating abstractions are in fact derived from the handwoven rugs of the nomadic tribes of Morocco. The harmonic diamond patterns in the rugs are a starting point which Bernhardt transmogrifies through her bold and seductive use of paint on canvas."
