New work, studio updates, and everything in between.
Paintings Beyond the Frame are artworks that challenge the traditional boundaries of painting. Frank Willems creates original paintings where elements extend beyond the surface, adding a physical and sculptural dimension to the artwork.
By allowing parts of the artwork to enter the surrounding space, these works transform the painting into a more immersive experience. The frame no longer defines the artwork; instead, the painting continues beyond its edges.
Paintings Beyond the Frame explore what happens when a painting moves beyond a flat surface. Frank Willems combines traditional painting techniques with three-dimensional elements, creating artworks that exist between painting and object.
By adding physical elements that extend outside the frame, the artwork gains depth, movement and a stronger connection with the surrounding space. These unexpected details challenge the viewer’s perception of what a painting can be.
Whether an element emerges from the artwork or interacts with the space around it, each piece expands the traditional idea of painting. The result is an original artwork that combines visual storytelling with a physical experience.
A Painting Beyond the Frame creates a moment of surprise by breaking the expected boundaries of a traditional artwork. The viewer discovers that the painting continues beyond what is immediately visible.
These artworks encourage a closer look and create a connection between the painted image and the physical world around it.
