An exhibition of work inspired by a career in plastic and reconstructive surgery opens in London next week. Retired plastic surgeon Brian Morgan, who studied briefly at St Martin's School of Art before bowing to family pressure and going into medicine, worked for many years as a consultant at University College Hospital and Mount Vernon Hospital, London.
He was a member of the team that treated victims of the King's Cross fire in 1987, working ceaselessly with colleagues for 48 hours during and after the fire and then embarking on years of reconstruction and repair.
His painting of the fire (above) is based on pictures taken in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy and on survivors' descriptions. "One policeman gave me such a graphic account I felt I wanted to paint it," he said.
His paintings also include landscapes, as well as medical subjects such as melanomas and breast implants.(Tim Bullamore)
