Passion for Aesthetics

The English Aesthetics Movement which originated in the late 19th century was the avant garde's response to the restrictive social and cultural background of Victorian life. Supporters such as the painter, Whistler, and the writer, Oscar Wilde saw art as a self-sufficient entity concerned solely with 'pure beauty'.

Dr. Nick Mohindra possesses this same eye for aesthetics and a passion for achieving facial symmetry and beauty for his patients. But his passion is not just  confined to his work. Nick and his wife, Fran, have been passionate about modern art for many years and their enthusiasm has translated into them bringing works of art and artist they admire into their work environment.

They have had enormous fun designing the practice at 18 Wimpole Street, which has been influenced by Scottish designer, Charles Rennie Mackentosh. They have always felt that art galleries can be intimidating places that fester artistic snobbery and would rather art be part of everyday life. For this reason they have created a waiting area graced by works of art making it more into a 'waiting gallery'. This has created a vibrant, pleasing, energetic environment for colleagues and patients alike — many patients have even said they find it  not only relaxing and interesting but also therapeutic.

This philanthropic couple  are enthusiastic about showing works from promising modern artists in the practice. At present Canterbury artist, David Heathcote's work is displayed.
