Hilary Pecis presents a new series of acrylic paintings in her solo exhibition "Love Letters" at David Kordansky Gallery in Los Angeles, running from May 16 to June 20. The works capture everyday scenes—a backyard pool, a studio corner, a picnic with strawberry cake—using her signature saturated palette and meticulous attention to texture and pattern, working from photographs onto linen.
The exhibition matters because it highlights Pecis's growing prominence in contemporary painting, where she elevates overlooked domestic and West Coast moments into vibrant, highly detailed compositions. Her method of blending uniform opacity with exaggerated color continues to attract attention in the art world, reinforcing the trend of figurative and still-life painting that finds beauty in the mundane.
