Creation of Tennis (2026) Original Acrylic Painting by Wyatt Bunce

91.44 x 60.96 x 2.54cm (unframed)

£1,113.63

A lone tennis player hangs mid-air, suspended in a moment that feels both athletic and improbable. The figure stretches outward, reaching across a simplified, almost diagrammatic court that recedes into a calm blue field. The perspective pulls the eye forward while the body moves against it, creating a quiet tension between control and flight.

The composition strips the game down to its essentials: line, space, and gesture. There’s no opponent, no crowd, no noise, just the player and the act itself. The stillness of the background contrasts with the dynamism of the figure, turning what might be a fleeting action into something closer to a held breath.

I’m interested in that space just before or after impact. The moment where intention is clearest but outcome is still unknown. Here, the player becomes less a competitor and more a figure of focus, balance, and reach.

The clean lines and flattened color reference both sports illustration and modernist painting traditions, while the exaggerated pose pushes the image slightly out of reality and into something more psychological or symbolic.

Oil and Acrylic on Canvas

I make paintings that explore the humor and weight of everyday life, often through strange interiors, exaggerated postures, and quietly surreal events. Figures bend unnaturally, objects hover or overtake the... Read more
