Collect a hand-painted ceramic amphora by Hilary Pecis, launched in support of charity: water.

Hilary Pecis paints the kinds of moments that easily pass us by. In doing so, she enshrines their beauty and importance. Her study of lilies and lily pads on the surface of a pond emerged as the perfect reference for her amphora – adapted such that its aquatic composition has no beginning or end.

The artwork belongs to a series of seven, conceived and crafted in a transatlantic collaboration between Artspace and Avant Arte. Proceeds will support charity: water in their endeavour to end the global water crisis.

I like the idea of a continuous narrative that circumnavigates the surface, so that the beginning and the end might commingle in a very organic way.

Hilary Pecis

1 collaboration

No one paints the simple pleasures of life quite like Hilary Pecis. The American artist is famous for exuberant still life paintings, landscapes, and interiors which have a Fauvist sensibility for colour and perspective. Over the years, Hilary has mastered the art of slow looking – a pot of coffee or a crossword puzzle has the same power and grandeur as a mountain. She pays close attention to light and pattern, finding new facets of beauty the more she looks at something. In terms of process, Hilary usually works from photographs in her studio. Sometimes, photos she has taken intentionally for a painting, and sometimes, outtakes from her camera roll she never expected to turn into art. Occasionally, she spots a photo taken by a friend and asks if she can paint it.

I was lucky enough to have been invited to see the creation of this piece of work back in June and met the fantastic Miwa so seeing this print now is just fantastic. The colours are every bit as vibrant as the original.
