About the Item
California Bug (non skeleton)
21 x 42.5 inches
X-Ray C-Type print with Diasec frame
Limited Edition 2 of 25
Acquired from artist's studio, signed recto
X-Ray print of a California Bug with a surf board. Artist Nick Veasey explores the intersection between science and art by creating a unique and detailed work that provides a thought provoking and different perspective on every day objects.
Nick Veasey (b. 1962) creates art that shows what it is really like inside. Veasey’s work with radiographic imaging equipment takes the x-ray to another level. Everyday objects are transformed from the banal to the beguiling and the layers and make-up of natural items are shown in fantastic detail.
These works are a classic example of the fusion between art and science. In today’s world that is obsessed with ‘image’, superficiality and artifice, Veasey counters such insubstantial diversions by delving inside and discovering what things are really made of. Their context is very relevant in today’s society with the prevalence of surveillance and the use of x-ray technology for security.
The artist’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 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.
The Victoria and Albert Museum in London have recently added his work to the British National Collection of Photography. Veasey regularly exhibits at fine art galleries the world over. The ethereal and fascinating works have collected a host of International awards.

Nick Veasey
We live in a world obsessed with image, what we look like, what our clothes, houses, and cars look like, etc. Nick Veasey counters this obsession with superficiality by using x-rays to strip back layers and show what is under the surface. Often, integral beauty adds intrigue to the familiar and challenges our automatic reaction to the physical appearance by highlighting the beauty inside. Society is being increasingly inhibited by security and surveillance. Take a flight or go into a high-profile courtroom and your belongings will be x-rayed. The post arriving in corporations and government departments is often x-rayed. Security cameras track our every move. By using the same gadgetry that removes a sense of freedom from our lives, Veasey speculates upon what the manufactured and natural world really consists of, thereby reminding us that beauty is more than skin deep. Nick Veasey's work is exhibited in a number of major international galleries in Europe, North America, and Asia. He is the recipient of many photographic and design awards, granted by the IPA Lucie Awards, AOP, Graphis, Communication Arts, Applied Arts, PX3, and the D&AD. In 2008, Veasey was nominated for the IPA Lucie International Photographer of the Year.
