Meticulously painted with vivid, hyper-real clarity, 'Dinner,' is typical of Hilary Pecis’ domestic scenes. Painted in 2019, the work captures her debt to the aesthetics of Fauvism and Pop Art, as well as the bright, luminous world of Los Angeles where she lives and works.

Sometimes the historical dictionary offers solace through the existence of an obsolete word that is sorely needed now. One of them is ‘respair’, recorded just once, in the 15th century. It means fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.
