'She's kind of our David Hockney.' How Hilary Pecis set the art world aflutter with charming paintings of life in Los Angeles:
Meditating on Pecis’s appeal, Molesworth told me recently: “There are mornings when shit is really rough, when the fascists are here and the earth is dying. But even then I can still walk into my living room, see the light hitting something in a certain way and I can think, ‘That is so beautiful.’ There’s something like that in Pecis’s work and it’s very powerful.”The market is certainly taking notice.
“She’s a lovely person and others were so excited to see that she was making great work,” Uffner said. “They wanted to see her succeed.”Any piece of writing about Pecis will surely make reference to L.A.—and not just because that’s where she lives. There’s a distinct southern California vibe to her paintings. It’s in the turbid, acid-washed skies of her landscapes and the bungalow-chic designs of her interiors. And it was her move there, in 2014, that transformed her work and ignited her career.
On the advice of an old art teacher, she eventually turned to painting—a hobby she had honed in the background but never fully committed to. It was slow going at first. By 2012, when she had a child, she said, “I really felt like any art career I had to that point was over. And I thought, well that’s okay. If I’m just a Sunday painter for the rest of my life that’s really going to be fine.”But everything changed when she moved to Los Angeles.
It was really liberating to not feel like I needed to defend anything. When you don’t have all these expectations—it’s very freeing.”While roughly 50 percent of the artist’s output is still-life painting , there’s an abiding stillness to all of her work, regardless of subject matter. If there’s a preeminent L.A. quality to her work, it’s this.
