An exhibition of recent works by the illustrator Quentin Blake commissioned by four hospitals in the UK and France. More than 60 works are on show from the series 'Our Friends in the Circus' (2009), which was made for a mental health ward for older adults at Northwick Park Hospital, Harrow, 'Ordinary Life' (2010), which was made for the Vincent Square Eating Disorder Clinic in London and celebrates the pleasures of everyday life, 'Planet Zog' (2007), created for Alexandra Avenue Health and Social Care Centre, South Harrow, and 'Mothers and Babies Underwater' (2011), made for the maternity building of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire in Angers, France. Positioning Blake within a tradition of artists working for hospitals, his drawings are displayed alongside paintings by William Hogarth and his contemporaries, who donated paintings and sculptures to the Foundling Hospital in the 1740s.
