Imperial Health Charity is pleased to present a new series of prints by the London-based artist Emma Reynolds in the Handfield-Jones Ward at Hammersmith Hospital.
The arts team at Imperial Health Charity worked together with ward staff to select an artist for this commission who could think about the particular needs of this space, and produce a harmonious, sensitive collection of artworks to enhance the environment.
Expansive skies, birdlife and a focus on Urban Oasis within the heart of the city, form a large part of Emma’s work. Her specialism is Fine Art Screenprinting, where she likes to mix between traditional printing methods and more experimental techniques, often using a paintbrush to paint and mix colours directly onto the silk screen. She uses multiple blends within her prints, to create depth and tone lending some of her prints a visual language more often found in paintings. For the ward, Emma created framed prints and large vinyls. To further enhance the look and feel, the charity’s arts team worked collaboratively with Georgia Burt, a healthcare design professional, to draw out colours from the artworks and replicate these throughout the space to amplify the overall visual impact.
In her own words Emma says: “I like my work to bring a sense of space, calm and quiet optimism to an environment that it inhabits. I work with subjects that make me feel happier and more positive, emotions that I would like to share. “
Emma Reynolds is a London-based artist and former award-winning motion graphics designer, now focused on screen printing and painting.
