Frameless is enticing in its audience with classic pieces of art thar have a modern touch of animation.

Frameless opened in Marble Arch in autumn 2022 and is London’s first permanent immersive art experience.
It involves a 90-minute social-media-friendly experience, with the hope to inspire people to go and enjoy art.
Based in a large underground London bunker, you can explore 30,000 square feet of inactive art which is separated into four rooms.
The four rooms are named, Beyond Reality, Colour in Motion, The World Around Us, The Art of Abstraction.
All rooms are enchanting for all ages, more traditional galleries can be less inviting, especially for the younger generation.
Frameless hope to offer a different kind of sensory development for children, allowing their imagination to run wild.

The mirrored floor around the edge gives the illusion that you are high up, when the art falls away for the next piece to emerge, it feels like you are falling with it.
The colour in motion room seems to be most people’s favourite, this is the inactive room.
As the art cycles through seven different paintings, the previous piece is on the floor as confetti like flakes, as you move about the room the confetti moves out of your way as though you are running through a pile of leaves.
