British artist Nick Veasey is a man who sees the world in X-ray vision.
"We live in a world obsessed with image. What we look like, what our clothes look like, houses, cars… I like to counter this obsession with superficial appearance by using X-rays to strip back the layers and show what it is like under the surface."
Veasey, who worked in the advertising and design industries for almost a decade, first used X-ray as a photographic medium while working with conventional photography. It soon became apparent he had found his calling. His unique, interesting and often humorous works have been featured in international advertising campaigns and on product packaging, as well as winning a number of photography and design accolades.

The Process: High Risk, High Reward
Specialised X-ray chamber

Image credits Charles Hosea PhotographyThe film is processed and then scanned on a high resolution scanner to obtain optimum detail and sharpness. The resulting images are then digitally composed and enhanced to highlight the intricate patterns and structures that are invisible to the naked eye.
Large and complex object can take months to complete and can be composed from hundreds of separate X-rays as each piece involves hours of careful preparation.

Chromogenic Prints and Diasec Mounting
Artwork installation at REDSEA GalleryVeasey favours the Diasec method, which creates the artworks to appear to be floating off the wall in a modern, frameless style. It gives the X-ray itself the greatest possible impact and detail, as museum quality archival chromogenic prints are pressed between di-bond on the back and polished Perspex on the face.
Many people think his artworks are back-lit, but it is the contrast between the high-quality gloss, deep black background and detailed X-ray that makes the works ‘pop’.
