British artist Nick Veasey uses x-ray technology to create art of stunning beauty and intrigue. His work appeals on many levels as it is a perfect example of the fusion between science and art. By utilizing technology designed to look for cancer, drugs and bombs, Veasey's art makes us appreciate the unseen elements inherent in everyday objects.
The x-rays reveal things for what they really are. The work has true integrity and honesty. The artist uses dangerous radioactive equipment to share his passion for countering contemporary society's obsession with superficiality. Glitz, glamour and what Veasey refers to as `Top Show' are all dispensed with as he takes us on a fascinating journey to the inside. The subjects can be considered on another level after Veasey's amazingly detailed x-ray process opens them up for internal inspection. Toys take on a slightly sinister and ethereal quality, machines are celebrated for their design and innovation and natural forms illustrate the complex patterns that form as they evolve.
