The article announces Hilary Pecis' upcoming exhibition "Wandering" in London, focusing on her new paintings inspired by ordinary locations encountered during daily excursions. Known for her colorful still lifes and landscapes, Pecis captures the essence of overlooked urban scenes, translating her observations into vibrant art. Employing techniques reminiscent of the Fauvists, particularly Matisse, her work explores how everyday moments can reveal unexpected beauty. Among her pieces, "Silverlake Hillside" exemplifies her ability to find intrigue in the mundane through rich colors and dynamic compositions, illustrating her unique perspective as a modern flâneur.
"Pecis is known for her vibrant still life and landscape paintings that elevate prosaic scenes with vivid combinations of colour, texture, linework, and pattern."
"In dialogue with the work of the Fauvists and the Nabis—in particular, Matisse’s liberated colour and compressed illusion of depth—her paintings feature subtle distortions of colour and scale."
