Our in-house arts programme, Artfelt, has worked with one of Britain’s best-loved illustrators, Sir Quentin Blake to bring some of his legendary artwork into Sheffield Children’s Hospital.
Blake has written or illustrated more than 300 books, but is best known for his collaborations with Roald Dahl, which sparked the imaginations of generations of children with depictions of the BFG, Matilda and the Twits.
The commission for Sheffield Children’s Hospital includes four large-scale wall vinyl illustrations and 11 framed prints. They can be found throughout the new wing of the hospital in waiting and parents’ rooms and on the ward walls. The work forms part of Artfelt’s mission to transform the hospital’s walls and spaces to help children recover in an environment tailored to them.
