Born in London, England in 1962, Nick Veasey combines science with art creating all his work with x-rays. With a small team of specialists at his studio in Kent, he has built a large collection of curiously macabre art that accompanies the inherent dangers of x-rays.

Starting in advertising and design, as well as conventional still photography, Nick Veasey was asked to X-ray a soda can for a television show. He also decided to X-ray the shoes he was wearing that day and showed the image to an art director who was galvanized by the art.

Nick Veasey says, “We live in a world obsessed with image.” When the viewer looks at his art, they can see the utter profoundness within everything that surrounds us. From the engines in our automobiles to the blue jeans we wear daily, and the flowers we pass by in a beautifully curated garden. Nick Veasey shows us that there is always more depth in the creation of any item, eliciting the extraordinary from the otherwise every-day items.

There is so much in Nick Veasey’s work for the viewer to discover. Oftentimes, we look at a piece of his art and see new details with each viewing, which only adds to the depth of his pieces, allowing us to experience the profoundness within the inanimate life that surrounds us.

His work has been featured in many international campaigns and adorned products and packaging worldwide, notably Adobe’s Creative Suite livery and Lenor/Downy fabric conditioner. His greatly acclaimed exhibits are shown internationally. Images from a 13-year period of Veasey’s work can be seen in X-ray: See Through the World Around You, published by Carlton/Goodman in the UK and Penguin in North America. He is the recipient of many photographic and design awards, nominated for the IPA Lucie international Photographer of the Year in 2008. He is also responsible for the largest X-ray to date: a life-sized Boeing 777 jet, which currently resides at Logan International Airport.
