Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Super way to praise hospital heroes for their work
We all know our NHS heroes are doing a super job in unprecedented times – and now hospitals in Shropshire have Superman-style X-rays on show to prove it.
Gallery owner Jonathan Soden teamed up with artist Nick Veasey to donate the striking artworks to Shropshire’s acute hospitals as a thank-you for the treatment given to a family member.
The images show the X-ray of an NHS worker, complete with face mask, in the famous Superman pose, with the NHS logo replacing Superman’s well-known S.
Nick’s work is an adaptation of one of his pieces which depicts an X-ray of Clark Kent transforming into the Man of Steel.
The artworks donated to SaTH show a male body on a female skeleton.
One now has pride of place outside the radiology department at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, while the other will soon be on display at the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.
Jonathan, who owns the Soden Collection in Shrewsbury, said: “The X-ray department holds a very special place in my heart as a family member recently underwent treatment and the radiology team at SaTH played a huge part in their recovery.”
Claire Baker, lead superintendent radiographer at SaTH, said: “To receive this recognition from Nick Veasey and the Soden Collection is an honour.”
