As innovators in the digital technology and art space, FRAMELESS believes in supporting emerging talent. For our newest ‘Blank Canvas’ artist residency we have proudly partnered with artist Claire Luxton to present ‘Right Before We Wake’, sponsored by Adobe in association with MTArt Agency.
Be transported to a dreamlike world in an exploration of the precious moments between sleep and wake. The show mirrors Surrealism through a contemporary lens and invites visitors to consider what happens on the precipice of sleep.
Take a look below for more details on the new immersive show.
Claire Luxton’s latest piece, ‘Right Before We Wake’, sponsored by Adobe, explores the surreal, in-between moments that occur just before we awaken. The show invites viewers to contemplate the magic of dreams and the restorative power of sleep.
In the UK, 37% of adults experience insomnia, with YouGov reports showing 1 in 8 have fewer than 6 hours of sleep per night, with just 25% getting 8 hours or more. With everyone being so actively connected in 2025, information overload means our minds require the space to restore, connect and reclaim the ability to focus and think creatively.
In ‘Right Before We Wake,’ Luxton’s modern-day immersive, Surrealist landscape is bathed in blue, green and purple colours that evoke tranquility, growth and introspection.
Blue, known to evoke deep relaxation, has graced the works of artists like Yves Klein, whose Blue Monochrome captures the meditative power of the colour.
Green, symbolising balance and spiritual renewal, can be traced back to the Renaissance, when it was often used to represent growth and healing.
Purple, connected to introspection, ties into sleep’s creative and restorative qualities, offering a space for emotional clarity.
Claire Luxton is a British contemporary multi-disciplinary artist working with photography, immersive installation and poetry. Claire weaves historical references throughout her work drawing upon work from ancient philosophers like Hippocrates and Aristotle, who speculated on the significance of dreams for the soul, and also from the Symbolist movement, which expressed psychological and spiritual realities through dreamlike landscapes.
These influences allude to the deep connection between the unconscious mind and the restorative power of rest, underscoring the importance of power of switching off and resetting as a new day dawns.
