Nick Veasey UK

Nick Veasey's work can be seen as a project that harnesses and exploits modern technology to advance the boundaries of perception and of art. But what sets him apart from other artists is not only the technique. Instead of creating or transforming things, he is exposing something that always existed, objects we think we know but we don't. Not from the inside out.

The subjects of his attention are manifold. Flora and fauna, DJ Decks, ordinary objects such as shoes, a typewriter and even a classic Morris Mini. Mainly, whatever surrounds us and is tangible. Although working with the manifest, he achieves to uncover the invisible. Veasey's x-rays penetrate the surface and take us on a journey into a world otherwise hidden and unseen.

The work is a dazzling balance of extremes, using lethal radiation to produce results of great lyricism and grace. Veasey's x-rays penetrate solid matter to render it ghostly and gentle, giving the viewers that precious feeling that they have somehow seen reality afresh with an aspect to life that they have never before experienced. An artist that pushes boundaries in pursuit of his calling.

His work has earned international acclaim, featured in prestigious art institutions and science museums worldwide. Notably, his inclusion in the British National Collection of Photography at the Victoria and Albert Museum highlights the lasting impact of his innovative art. Veasey has additionally had 5 museum retrospectives: Mass MOCA, Fotagrafiska Stockholm, Erarta Museum St. Petersburg, Seoul Arts Center, and Amore Pacific Museum Korea.
