Japanese painter Maki Ohkojima has created a series of paintings that are not limited to their canvases—aptly calling them “the mural beyond the frame”, these pieces sprawl out onto the walls surrounding the artwork.
The concept and idea of painting beyond the frame struck her when she was unable to completely express an entire drawing in one frame—“I always think that the picture I am drawing in that moment is merely one part of a larger world and narrative”, says the artist—likening it to the limitations of a camera unable to fully capture “a scene in its entirety”.
By incorporating this technique into her pieces, the artist is able to bring continuity to her drawings and fully depict an entire scene.
