A curation by Natalie Slater, Curator at Singulart - ‘Horizontal Leisure’ is a curation that brings together figurative works centered on the reclined body. Across painting and drawing, each figure is positioned horizontally—resting, stretched, folded, or simply lying still. The poses are unforced and direct. Nothing here performs urgency. The artists approach the body with different techniques and degrees of realism, but the compositions share a similar logic: gravity does the work. Beds, sofas, floors, and fabric become quiet supports rather than narrative devices. The figures occupy space without spectacle, neither idealized nor dramatized. What connects these works is not intimacy or sensuality, but duration. These are moments extended rather than captured—bodies paused between action and rest. The horizontal position flattens hierarchy and tension, allowing the figure to exist without demand.
