VIEWING ROOM 16

We are showcasing a range of beautifully realised screen prints, neons and reflective signage in this Viewing Room. All designed and produced baby Paul Wolterink.

Their message is clear. Information is key, its transmission is accessible. And, like music can do, people may rapidly identify with the direct visual language of the prints. In Holland Paul studied at a crafts school that still taught the traditional techniques of sign writing and advertising painting by hand. His reputation after art school (graphic design) varied from working as a solo designer, to small partnerships, as well as working in smaller and bigger design studios. creating a steady output of commercial design work, mainly in the cultural sector, and as a lecturer graphic communications and type in The Netherlands and at NUA Norwich.

Paul Wolterink works in three main disciplines within the cultural field: a printmaker, graphic designer and graphic communications lecturer, alongside raising his family in West Norfolk. We are showing a range of work by this artist. A key collection is entitled 'The Sea Is Always Right’ and consists of three neon signs, part of an open series that brings to light the devastating storm surge of 30 January 1607 on the north Norfolk coast.
