Palm Court Enrico Capanni

‘Palm Court’ by Italian digital artist Enrico Capanni is a Slim Aarons-esq take on another iconic symbol of suburban luxury, the tennis court. Set in a Palm Springs-like locale with towering palm trees soaring into the afternoon sky and set against a barren, rugged mountain vista, this piece pays homage to leisure time as practised by the chic leisure class of a different era. Abandoned by its players, the court is empty except for a solitary tennis ball and an empty umpire’s chair. Yet, still, with its soft pastel tones and setting, the image is redolent in the sort of retro luxury of the 50s and 60s.
