FAY PECK
Languid Time
April 5 - May 29, 2021
Fay Peck, an illustrious American Expressionist artist, is well-loved for her bold expressive work: In her silkscreens, the juxtaposition of intense, brash color and heavy pattern with a clean, confident line are impactful visually, but also evoke a nostalgia for a more tactile, languid time. The silkscreens presented in this show are some of the most passionate of her figurative work. In an era of over-sanitized imagery and defect-less marketing trope, Peck’s art is a breath of fresh air; a balm for the social isolation of the pandemic, a salve for the starved real-life human interaction of the past year.
Invoking the incredible, bold personality that was Fay Peck on our gallery walls is, to us, the most apt way to emerge from the jarring year we just faced and embrace the spring and its promise of new life. 15 screen prints by the late great Fay Peck:
