About
With works in both the Whitney and MOMA in New York, Pensato (1941-2019) gained notoriety for paintings which play with well-known cartoon characters, often transforming them into unsettling or macabre alter-egos rendered in aggressive brush strokes and claustrophobic layers of over-painting. The models for these pictures (old soft toys and plastic figures) were found in New York’s thrift stores and transformed into still lifes in her atmospheric studio.

Pensato’s image suited her work: with a bleached cloud of hair, she wore paint-splantered, punkish clothes and littered her Insta-profile with pictures of herself touting cigars and fake guns.
