For Carlos Weisz's show at the [Barbershop Gallery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-steinberg-and-associates) in Toronto, Canada, the cartoonist and photographer examined his childhood obsession. Titled 30-Love, Carlos Weisz's show had a menage of [tennis rackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-event-series), sketches and even tennis balls with faces on them. The show was also color blocked, as will be visible in the gallery photos. **Implications** - Carlos Weisz has created a very clever and unique [tennis themed art show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silent-echoes).
