Hilary Pecis Paints Saturated Snapshots of West Coast Life

In Love Letters, Hilary Pecis explores the mundane with vibrant gusto. Her Los Angeles-based acrylic paintings focus on everyday scenes, from a backyard pool to a picnic with a strawberry cake. Each piece is meticulously crafted, utilizing a uniform opacity and exaggerated colors that highlight texture and pattern.

Pecis translates these moments into her signature style using photos as references, bringing the West Coast's often overlooked beauty to life. From frilly fronds on plants to light reflecting off water, each detail is carefully observed and rendered in her work.

The exhibition opens at David Kordansky Gallery in Los Angeles from May 16th to June 20th, giving visitors a chance to see these colorful snapshots up close. Until then, explore more on her Instagram feed for a taste of the vivid world she creates.
