Art exhibition at Harefield Hospital
Artist Namik Ozturk's latest exhibition 'Permission to Live' has gone on display at the Harefield Hospital Anzac Centre, with £10 per sale being donated to charity.
Namik has chosen two charities that have played an important part in his life, Motability and the Royal Brompton & Harefield Charitable Fund, to benefit from the money raised.
Motability customer Namik underwent a heart transplant at Harefield Hospital, part of the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Trust, after developing heart disease.
His paintings capture all of his emotions and experiences in the seven years leading up to his heart transplant through a fusion of colour and shapes, and he hopes will raise awareness of organ disease and donation, and support other sufferers and their families.
Lucy Tyler, Motability's Corporate Accounts Manager, said "We are really grateful to Namik for choosing to donate a percentage of his profits to Motability. The money will go towards helping disabled people and their families become mobile through the provision of a vehicle suited for each individual's specific needs.
"The peace of mind that comes with having a safe and reliable form of transport to take you to hospital appointments and do daily errands is priceless".
Namik's exhibition is on at the Harefield Hospital Anzac Centre, Hill End Road, Harefield, UB9 6JH until 28th July. Admission is free.

Great Exhibition..loved the work. This man definately show that art does not just have to hang on a wall in a stuffy gallery, it can do more when you buy it. Had a look at his website and will order some of his work.
