Keiran Brennan Hinton's 'Nearsighted' at MAKI Gallery

exhibition · 2026-07-05

MAKI Gallery presents 'Nearsighted', the second solo exhibition by Canadian artist Keiran Brennan Hinton. The show features 28 new paintings created during a long winter in Toronto, focusing on domestic scenes such as a figure knitting, a cup of coffee, an apple core, and a half-made sweater. The central work, 'Knitting Beneath the Light', draws a parallel between knitting and painting as acts of attention and repetition. Other pieces include 'Late Winter Interior', 'An Afternoon in March', and 'January 12th Reflection'. The exhibition marks a development in Brennan Hinton's exploration of observation and everyday life.
