Frameless London: New exhibition showcases artwork created by London schoolchildren

The immersive art gallery which is based in Marble Arch has added a new residency to its roster of enchanting works inspired by the work of Kensington school children.

Showcased in the venue’s Blank Canvas gallery which has become known for welcoming the works of up and coming artists the new display named Imagined Realities will be a three-part audio-visual art experience exploring how we confront and navigate complex emotions.

One part of the show titled Moody Monsters was designed by artists Riya Mahajan and Ruby Bell who were inspired following a workshop with 12-14 year-olds from Kensington Aldridge Academy, where young people crafted clay monsters to reflect different emotions. 

Reflecting on the display Riya Mahajan said: “By personifying feelings and bringing them to life through art, we can help young people nurture positive relationships with their friends, families, and even their own thoughts. 

“Bringing emotions to life encourages children to connect with their feelings, highlighting the importance of making art appealing to kids by offering them an engaging connection to imagined worlds, all while helping them confront their own realities.”

The display will also feature Roots to the Universe which tells the story of creation of ancient worlds in India as well as From the Ground / Lost in Synthetic which takes a journey through a mythological world by blending traditional narratives.

The new 3-month residency, will open at Frameless today (October 25). Access to Imagined Realities will be part of any standard ticket to Frameless, meaning visitors to the show will also have access to the full gallery experience too.

Adult tickets start from £27 while tickets for children aged 3 to 15 years old start from £17. Tickets are available on the Frameless website.
