VIBRANT COLORS AND BOLD STATEments are the essence of pop art. I have taken an unconventional path by turning chemical molecules into captivating artworks, and I am excited to share my story and describe my path to scientific pop art. Molecules may seem an unlikely subject for pop art, but they are the hidden heroes of our existence.
From the simplicity of H2O to the intricate structure of DNA, I have transformed these microscopic wonders into unique pop art that transcends scientific boundaries. As far as I'm aware, I am the only practicing physician worldwide who has brought science directly into the vibrant realm of pop art, focusing exclusively on molecular structures.
From Glasgow to the Gallery
I come from an uninspiring, working-class background in Glasgow, Scotland. I had no scientific, medical or artistic role models in my early years. Through sheer determination I managed to get into university in Leicester, where I studied molecular biology in the '70s. After this I studied medicine and specialized eventually in hematology, which is the study of blood diseases.
