In her latest exhibition titled Love Letters, artist Hilary Pecis beautifully encapsulates the often-overlooked moments of everyday life. Based in Los Angeles, Pecis unveils a collection of acrylic paintings characterized by her distinctive, vibrant style. The artwork highlights scenes such as a serene backyard pool, a cluttered studio worktable, and a joyful picnic featuring a delightful strawberry cake.
Pecis draws inspiration from photographs, transforming fleeting instances into captivating pieces on linen. Her technique involves a consistent opacity in her paint application, blending both realistic and exaggerated hues while paying close attention to texture and pattern. Observations of delicate plant fronds, shimmering water reflections, and the tactile quality of a woven tablecloth reflect her dedicated artistic process.
The exhibition Love Letters is set to open at David Kordansky Gallery in Los Angeles on May 16 and will be on view until June 20. For those eager to explore more of Pecis's artistry, her work can also be found on her Instagram profile.
