Nick Veasey sees the world differently—through X-rays. Using this invisible spectrum of light, he unveils the hidden essence of his subjects, from intricate machinery to bridal couples, stripping away the surface to reveal an unexpected beauty beneath.
His work challenges society’s fixation on appearances, exposing the inner workings of everyday objects. Inspired by his mantra,"Inside, we are all the same,"" Nick’s art fuses engineering, science, and photography to reveal what lies beneath the surface. Fascinated by internal structures, his detailed X-rays highlight both the complexity and simplicity within objects, evoking powerful emotional responses.
Taking inspiration from Albert G. Richards’ floral radiographs, Nick’s diverse portfolio ranges from Christmas trees to Alexander McQueen fashion pieces. One of his most ambitious works—a life-sized Boeing 777 composed of over 1,000 X-rays—was displayed on a United Airlines hangar. His creations emerge from behind 35 cm lead-lined walls, using medical and industrial radiography machines to achieve extraordinary detail.
His innovative approach has gained international recognition, with exhibitions at Fotografiska and the Erarta Museum of Contemporary Art, and his work featured in the A’s National Collection of Photography.
He has also collaborated with Porsche, Nike, and media giants like National Geographic and Wired. As a pioneer of X-ray art, Nick Veasey continues to push creative boundaries, redefining both subject matter and scale. In his own words, "By revealing the inside, my art speculates on what the world truly consists of."
