From Liminal Gallery

"The paintings in Leisure sit somewhere between rest and unease. I'm interested in the point at which an ordinary scene stops feeling ordinary." This artist statement is supplemented by the curatorial overview noting that Gorst's work features "people in tracksuits, often with their limbs entwined" with "a youthful, fresh, painterly feel." The paintings depict "ambiguous scenes that elicit both tension and release, with his subjects occupying a space removed from recognisable environments."
