" HORS DU CADRE" IS CLOSED SINCE OCTOBER 2024
As part of a research project, Aket ventured off the beaten path of the canvas. Imagining how a canvas could come to life outside of its traditional frame, he created a series of works titled "Out of the Frame."
This series explores the idea that art is not confined to a limited space but can extend and interact with its environment. Aket employs a variety of materials and innovative techniques to bring his creations to life, blending painting, sculpture, and installations.
TEXT FROM THE ARTIST :
"Have you ever felt trapped in a frame, unable to venture outside of it, much like in the movie "The Truman Show"?
This feeling of limitation regarding our possibilities for exploration and expression drives us to break free from established norms. Breaking the frames and liberating ourselves from the constraints that hold us back allows us to explore another potential."
Each piece in this series invites the viewer to reevaluate the concept of a frame and to consider art from a new perspective. By transcending the physical limits of the canvas, Aket seeks to establish a dialogue between the artwork, the surrounding space, and those who observe it. Thus, "Out of the Frame" becomes not only an artistic exploration but also a reflection on the interaction between art and the reality that surrounds us.
Looking for a blend of construction, I aimed to highlight the canvas and the surrounding composition on wood, as if it didn’t stop at the simple edge of the frame. 🎨🖼️🎨🖼️
In developing this idea, I wanted to explore the limits by playing with the material. 🪵
The combination of wood and canvas adds an extra dimension to the artwork.
