Toronto-based painter Keiran Brennan Hinton spent a week in residence this spring at Banner House in Dallas, creating a series of plein air tennis paintings on site during the Dallas Art Fair.
A relative newcomer to the sport of tennis—as an artist and as a player—Hinton points out surprising parallels between painting and tennis: the importance of staying present, the challenge of responding in real time, trusting oneself, and getting into the flow state.
We caught up with him to discuss the project.
