Federer and Nadal "Paintball" Art!
Three years ago, tennis legend, Martina Navratilova, created a series of artworks with tennis rackets, paints, etc. in collaboration with a Czech artist. Now it’s the men’s turn! Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, showcased their artistic talents by hitting paint covered
tennis balls against a large white canvas. The one-of-a-kind artwork, created by each player who qualifies for the year-end championship, will be part of the Barclays ATP World Tour finals that takes place at the 02 Arena in London in November.
Once the artwork had been “painted”, each canvas was overlaid with a stenciled image, which, when removed, revealed a unique “self-portrait” of each player in one of his “signature” moves. The artwork created by the eight finalists will be displayed for the public and then subsequently auctioned off for charity. Nice to see the top tennis pros' creative talents showcased outside the lines of the tennis court!
