T he Velocity Black Residence invites you to view Julian Pace series of large-scale paintings. Known for his distinctive use of exaggerated proportions and fluid linework, Pace captures the charisma and aura of legendary athletes in a style that is at once monumental and deeply personal. Through rich color palettes and sweeping brushstrokes, each portrait distills the dynamism of the game into still form, inviting viewers to see both the heroic and the human sides of these sports figures.
Building on his reputation for transforming familiar cultural symbols into objects of contemplation, Pace’s new body of work extends beyond mere likeness to evoke memory, fandom, and the collective language of sport. The exhibition is both an homage to the Game as a global phenomenon and a testament to Pace’s ability to translate its energy and spirit onto canvas.
About the Velocity Black Residence
The Velocity Black Residence is a private cultural hub created for a new generation of globally minded members, tastemakers, founders, and cultural leaders during soccer’s biggest global moment in Los Angeles.
While the tournament serves as the backdrop, the focus of the Residence extends far beyond soccer. Throughout the residency, fashion, music, dining, wellness, art, design, and business come together through intimate gatherings, curated dinners, hosted conversations, wellness experiences, screenings, and social moments designed to foster meaningful connection and cultural exchange.
Every experience is intentionally designed to feel thoughtful, elevated, and community-driven—bringing together influential voices across industries in a way that feels organic rather than performative.
