Art Walk + Exhibition Walkthrough for "The Space in Between"

Flagler College Art History students will lead a walkthrough of our current exhibition, Hilary Pecis: The Space in Between,” on Friday, February 7 at 6pm and again at 7pm. The museum will be open for Art Walk from 5 to 8pm.

Since her move to the Los Angeles area, the Southern Californian light has inspired Pecis’ work, suffusing each painting with a brightness and vivacity. Pecis captures portraits of people through both the interior and exterior spaces they occupy by using objects such as books, paintings, flowers, wallpapers, and furniture as signifiers for their human characteristics. She invites the viewer to step into intimate settings and environments through varied perspectives. The importance of perspective, the space in between, is paramount. The artist describes this in different ways: how both positive and negative space is negotiated on the canvas, as the space that we physically occupy, and how we overlap with our surroundings.
