Description:
World-famous paintings have been reimagined at a first of its kind exhibition that launches this week, featuring Marie Curie nursing team members, including a healthcare assistant from Wales for the charity’s Great Daffodil Appeal.<br/><br/>The exhibition displays a series of classic artworks depicting the end of life by artists including Edvard Munch and Ary Scheffer, which have been reimagined to feature real life Marie Curie Nurses and Healthcare Assistants. <br/><br/>The artworks were commissioned by the UK’s leading end of life charity Marie Curie as part of its Great Daffodil Appeal.<br/>The nursing team members are depicted in the paintings, alongside the charity’s famous daffodil, providing care and support to the dying and those close to them. The images serve as a poignant reminder of the importance of end of life care, as currently one in four people don’t get the end of life care they need. <br/><br/>The charity – which provides expert end of life care for people with any illness they are likely to die from – has commissioned British artist Lisa Buchanan, also known as Dangerosa, to create The Daffodil Collection. <br/><br/>Buchanan has assisted Damien Hirst, Lakwena and Sir Michael Craig-Martin, and used to work for Marie Curie for several years.<br/><br/>Four real life Marie Curie Nursing team members and a healthcare assistant feature in the scenes. <br/><br/>The paintings will be on display to visitors for one day only in a special new exhibition at a Mayfair Gallery at 56 Conduit Street this Thursday, March 14. <br/>Following the London exhibition the paintings will be auctioned off.
