Exhibition 'Open and Shut' work by Thom Gorst

Anise Gallery is proud to announce a show of new work by Thom Gorst!
Ruination and the Maritime preside over Thom Gorst’s latest collection of work as he returns to Anise Gallery this March. The two themes are especially apposite today, as major exhibitions currently address them both. At Tate Britain ‘Ruin Lust’ is a transhistorical exhibition that covers our interest in ruin from its roots in the 18th Century up to contemporary artists who, like Thom, situate beauty in the remains of modernity: in the Edgelands that Farley and Symmons Roberts wrote about; in the derelict London that John Savage photographed, in the abandoned mental hospitals and factories that urban explorers photograph and, in the recently abandoned ships that he now paints.
