A NEW exhibition at Littlehampton Museum charts the varied creativity of illustrator Paul Darton, with a collection of line drawings, pen and ink sketches and montages.
Educated at Camberwell Art School, he worked as a porter at Dulwich Hospital after graduating, which led to a career in medical art.
Lucy Ashby, exhibition officer at the museum, said: "In his spare time Paul kept up his art with watercolour and oil painting. He was soon asked by surgeons to produce artwork for teaching slides and publications, and advised to pursue a career in medical illustration, which he did, becoming a student at Guy's Hospital within the Medical Artists Association's training scheme."
His most famous work, An Illustrative Recon-struction of the Moorgate Tube Disaster, alongside many pieces from his time as the head of the Medical Illustration Unit at the Faculty of Medicine at Hong Kong University in the 1980s, and sketches of this year's Earthquake in China, are on display.
Mark Butler, chair of Littlehampton Town Council's Community Resources Committee, said: "An interesting exhibition. The drawings are amazingly technical. Paul certainly is a very talented man."
Paul Darton's Brush with Line runs until September 9.
