Mural by celebrated artists created for new Brighton cancer centre

Internationally acclaimed street artist duo The Postman is unveiling a large scale mural this November, transforming the hoardings of the new NHS Sussex Cancer Centre in Brighton.

The project, part of the Nature of Healthcare initiative launched in partnership with My Charity, University Hospitals Sussex, will feature a wraparound series of vibrant artworks in The Postman’s distinctive pop art style. The Nature of Healthcare exhibition will remain in place throughout 2025 and 2026 before being auctioned piece by piece, with proceeds supporting the charity’s appeal to improve facilities at the cancer centre, set to open in 2029. The site will be nearly five times larger than the current one and bring all vital cancer services under one roof, serving a population of two million and caring for more than 60,000 patients each year.

My Charity has already made a significant impact across Sussex hospitals, including the installation of Savi Scout consoles to improve breast cancer surgery, the introduction of transnasal endoscopes for faster and more comfortable procedures, and the creation of dedicated wellbeing spaces for staff.

Brighton-based anonymous street artist duo The Postman’s works include commissions for Noel Gallagher and the Bob Marley Foundation. Speaking about the mural, they said: “We’re excited to be progressing with our hospital artwork and developing a range of concepts. We want this project to inspire hope and connection for everyone who passes by.”
