An artist has used lab equipment to create a new mural at the Institute of Cancer Research in Sutton.

Jimmy C used a pipette to hand-dispense 50,000 small dots of paint.

The painting is inspired by an image of a patient’s immune system responding to a tumour, as cells fight and evolve to keep it in check.

Jimmy is best known for his mural of David Bowie in Brixton, and says the experience was “challenging” but “rewarding”.
