Frame

A space for contemporary art

View Current Exhibition
"Art does not reproduce what we see; it makes us see."

Frame was founded on the belief that great art demands great space — not as a monument to culture, but as a living encounter between work and witness. Each exhibition is a careful act of listening. We represent artists whose practice resists easy categorisation and whose work earns a second, longer look.

Between Ground and Air

Mara Solis
12 June — 14 August 2026

Mara Solis works at the threshold of painting and material investigation, building surfaces that accumulate and recede, accumulate and collapse. In this new series — her most ambitious to date — she explores the moment before form settles: the suspended instant when pigment, medium, and atmosphere are still negotiating. The result is painting that feels geological in patience and atmospheric in presence.
