Still lifes and interiors are deeply rooted in the history of representational painting. I get to try out different marks and be a tourist in other people's paintings.
Hilary Pecis (b. 1979, Fullerton, California) is an American figurative painter who lives and works in Los Angeles. In meticulously detailed works in acrylic on canvas, Pecis captures the urban and natural landscapes of her home city as well as the interiors of Angelenos’ homes. While her native city figures as a primary character in her work, Pecis’s depictions of easy West Coast domesticity are rich with the personal details that fill these environs. She works from photographs and memory to create scenes that document the art, record, and book collections that inhabit the homes of friends. Fields of poppies or leaves floating on water scintillate to kaleidoscopic effect in her landscapes while in her interiors, plant life is placed in conversation with floral patterned textiles. Many of her paintings feature artworks and handicraft nestled within works, including textiles, prints, and original paintings, lending them portal-like qualities.
Pecis earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from California College of the Arts, San Francisco and was the 2008 recipient of the San Francisco Arts Commission’s Murphy and Cadogan Fellowship. She is a co-founder of Binder of Women, a Los Angeles-based collective of female artists.

Dwelling Is The Light
15 April - 15 May 2020 LondonCurated by writer and art historian Katy Hessel, Dwelling is the Light is the first in a series of group and solo online exhibitions planned for this spring. Inspired by the evolving effects of the current global lockdown on our attitudes towards nature versus domestic living, Dwelling is the Light presents a curated selection of works by contemporary female artists working within a range of mediums, from figurative and abstract painting to tapestry, sculpture and photography. The title of the exhibition is derived from William Wordsworth’s seminal 1798 poem ‘Tintern Abbey,’ which centers on the author’s meditations on the restorative powers of nature, even in the form of memory. With its emphasis on the dichotomy between sublime nature and urban living, this landmark of British Romantic poetry serves as a point of comparison to these artists’ intimate and often surreal explorations of outdoors and indoors, interiors and exteriors, nature and domesticity.View More
