Imagine living within the paintings themselves, feeling the energy pulsating through each stroke of the artist’s brush. In this immersive journey, we become part of the scene, enveloped in the atmosphere and emotion captured in every hue and shade.
In the vibrant heart of Marble Arch, Frameless beckons you to transcend the traditional confines of art. Frameless, the UK’s first large-scale digital immersive art experience, invites you to travel through time and space, experiencing every brushstroke with all your senses.
With sounds and colors in motion, Frameless challenges the notion that art should be confined within a 4×4 frame. Instead, invite you to live within the paintings, to breathe in the atmosphere of the artist’s moment of creation.
Frameless presents a transformative art experience spanning four rooms, each offering a distinct journey through the evolution of artistic movements. From the timeless elegance of the Renaissance to the structured beauty of Neoclassicism, the passionate expressions of Romanticism, and the bold experimentation of Modern Art, visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of artistic history.

In the first room, motion tracking technology in Colour in Motion allows you to interact with artistic masterpieces, influencing the very essence of the Impressionist era. In the second Beyond Reality and third room The World Around Us, lose yourself in six-sided projections of awe-inspiring landscapes, beautifully brought to life by some of the greatest artists in history. Finally, wind through the maze of the fourth room The Art of Abstraction, where color, shape, and form converge to reveal the pioneers of abstract art.
The Frameless Art Talks program further enriches this immersive experience. Delve into the depths of art with esteemed art historians guiding the way. Monthly lectures, like portals to the past, unlock the stories behind the masterpieces, bridging the gap between the canvas and the audience. Fania Weatherby’s exploration of Impressionism serves as an enticing inaugural chapter, unraveling the dynamic, bright, and fleeting world that shaped modern art.
In this realm of immersive art, the boundaries between observer and artwork blur, allowing us to transcend the limitations of conventional perception. We’re not just witnessing art; we’re living it, experiencing its depth and beauty in ways never before imagined.
