Enoc Pérez — Racquet Club Hotel
Enoc Pérez

Racquet Club Hotel

A luminous watercolor rendering of the iconic Racquet Club Hotel bathes the storied Palm Springs retreat in warm, sun-drenched hues that evoke the golden age of mid-century leisure. Pérez employs fluid washes of color to capture the property's modernist architecture, allowing the translucency of the medium to mirror the hazy, dreamlike quality of the desert light. The work reflects the artist's ongoing fascination with legendary sites of glamour and escape, transforming a celebrated landmark into both a document of history and a meditation on memory.
