Keiran Brennan Hinton
Keiran Brennan Hinton's artistic practice explores the notion of looking in a discreet and contained way. The principal focuses of Brennan Hinton’s practice include the formal painting process; the act of observation; reflections of domestic intimacy; the plein-air discipline; and interiority. His small oil paintings depict the spaces in which the artist paints, where one can perceive the lonely nature of his practice in these empty rooms charged with relics of a past human presence. Brennan Hinton questions, through the repeated use of the window motif, the delimiting role of this opening onto the world, while a voyeuristic reflection in the glass inevitably brings the viewer within the limits of the framework he was trying to escape. The artist considers the window as a precipice between public and private space, a moment when one wall becomes permeable and when we allow ourselves to contemplate the interiority of the other.
Keiran Brennan Hinton was born in Toronto, Canada. He received his BFA from Pratt Institute in 2014 and his MFA from Yale University in 2016. Recent solo exhibitions include Towards Sentimentality at Charles Moffett Gallery in New York, Day Breaks Night Falls at Galerie Thomas Fuchs in Germany, A Broken Clock is Right Twice a Day at Michael Gibson Gallery in London, Close at Hand at 1969 Gallery in New York, and Matter of Fact, at Mulherin New York. An RBC Painting Competition finalist in 2018, Brennan Hinton was included in the 2022 group exhibition I AM HERE, Home Movies and Everyday Masterpieces at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
