No Aloha

No Aloha is a new casual café and indoor-outdoor dining experience within the Forty Five Ten boutique in downtown Dallas. Brooklyn-based artist Katherine Bernhardt was commissioned to develop and install a painting adorning the walls and ceiling of No Aloha, which is located on the first floor of Forty Five Ten.

The installation further sets Forty Five Ten apart as a uniquely multifaceted destination, adding yet another layer to the brand’s embrace of contemporary art in a retail environment.

“The multi-wall painting is an immersive version of the virtuosic pattern paintings that have formed the backbone of Bernhardt’s practice for the last several years,” explains CANADA Gallery, which represents Bernhardt. “She has drawn from her personal lexicon to create a massive, constellatory travelogue of pop culture, be it Pac-Man heads, cigarettes, laptops, tacos, sharks, or fruit.”

Bernhardt’s immersive art installation in No Aloha joins the collection of world-class art placed throughout the building — including works by Tracey Emin, Juergen Teller and Greg Bogin. Bernhardt is known for her colorful works in acrylic and spray paint and spent five days painting this site-specific installation in downtown Dallas.

She has produced similar installations for museums, such as the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis. Boisterous and riotously colorful, her paintings have a charismatic messiness that draws the eye.

The cafe’s menu is as eclectic as the setting, with a savory and sweet assortment of coffees, teas, pastries, soups and snacks, and boasts a wine list curated to complement the outdoor patio.
