Illustrator and designer Nick Deakin has created a new series of murals for the eye department at Sheffield Children's Hospital, according to an article on the Creative Review website.
Deakin's artworks are the latest in a series commissioned for the hospital by Artfelt, and form part of a wider plan to transform its patient spaces using art and design, the article said.
Each illustration features a colourful modular design with a different theme. In some rooms, illustrations also help with clinical assessments – artwork on the ceiling in orthoptic rooms provide images to look at during eye examinations – while light boxes in dark corridors, inspired by the Snellen charts used in eye tests, feature interchangeable illustrations printed on acetate.
Artfelt has also commissioned illustrations for a swimming room at the hospital's Ryegate centre, cheerful photography for its emergency department, traffic themed murals for a neurological assessment block and mosaics, textiles and landscape paintings for the critical care unit.
