Murals at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, London

























I was recently commissioned to produce two large scale mural works to go on the side of a new purpose built cinema for patients in Chelsea and Westminster Hospital by the CW+ Charity. I was asked to create two colourful murals on either side of it that would be uplifting for the patients to see. They feature lots of local landmarks to spend time looking at and are in the shape of animals. The patients and staff at the hospital helped me to come up with ideas for the places to include and which animal shapes to choose. On one side of the cinema there is a mother and baby rhino made up of buildings such as the Natural History Museum and the Albert Hall and on the other side is a leaping fox made up landmarks from Fulham, Earls Court and Battersea. Below are the digital illustrations of the Rhinos and Fox and also the building sketches I made in researching the pieces along with two initial design ideas.
