John Dyer art now uplifting patients as they arrive for surgery & instilling calm at King's College Hospital in London

On the left is Jennifer Watson who is the Director of Nursing, then Matron Istvan, then Anne McKenna who is Head of Nursing and on the far right is Clive Kay, the Chief Executive Officer at King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

Sound Environments recently contacted us at the gallery to discuss a project for King's College Hospital in London.

Bea Soars, the design director of www.soundenv.co.uk, works with artists and photographers to create incredible spaces to relax and inspire. Bea meticulously researches suitable images for Sound Environments' projects and spends a lot of time considering the imagery and how it will work on site.

"Whether it's extending learning in schools by capitalising on redundant spaces, creating a healing and fun environment for Paediatric Outpatients or crafting well-being zones, our creative and adaptable approach has attracted many loyal clients over the years. Our solutions are grounded in psychology and we look to innovate through every project."
Bea Soars.

Bea reached out to the gallery as after much research she felt that John Dyer's painting 'Surfing and Sunbathing, Great Western Beach, Newquay' would be perfect for their latest project

"The aim is to create a warm, and reassuring environment that, not only puts the patients and their families at ease, but also creates a more pleasant work setting for the Theatres Team. It's great to have art in hospitals to uplift and enhance the environment. In a clinical setting, framed art can be a dust trap, so premium, easi-wipe laminated print is far better and durable too."
Bea Soars.

Above: John Dyer's painting was photographed by the gallery at a very high resolution and sent digitally to Sound Environments ready to be installed in the hospital. The final printed and installed image is 3.17 meters long and 1.86 meters tall.

"I have seen my art used in hospitals to great effect as it provides a real focus, a talking point, an uplifting energy and joy at a time that can often be filled with trauma, worry or pain, and I was delighted to be involved with this fantastic project. I hope that many staff and families will enjoy the colours, life and narrative that can be found in my summer painting of Newquay in Cornwall."
John Dyer.
