X-Ray Artist Nick Veasey Unveils New Work at Sorrel Sky Gallery
British Artist Brings Radiographic Vision to Santa Fe and Durango with Special November Events
SANTA FE, NM / DURANGO, CO — Sorrel Sky Gallery presents special evening receptions featuring the revolutionary X-ray photography of Nick Veasey, internationally recognized as the world's leading radiographic artist. The British artist will unveil new works revealing the hidden beauty inside everyday objects, from vintage automobiles to delicate flowers, during two exclusive events this spring.
Collectors and art enthusiasts are invited to experience Veasey's unique vision at receptions in Santa Fe on May 1, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM, and Durango on May 8, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. Both events offer rare opportunities to view his latest radiographic photographs and explore the extraordinary intersection of art and science that defines his practice. Veasey will talk about his intriguing process with the humor and wit that he is known for.
Seeing What Lies Beneath
Veasey transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary through radiographic imaging equipment that reveals what exists inside. A 1988 Ferrari F40 GTE becomes a skeletal sculpture of engineering precision. Flowers expose delicate internal architectures invisible to the naked eye. Musical instruments display the mechanical poetry hidden beneath polished surfaces. Each image invites viewers to reconsider objects they thought they knew.
"The beauty of X-ray art lies in its ability to reveal truth," explains Veasey. "By showing what's really inside, we gain deeper appreciation for the complexity and elegance of the world around us, whether it's a flower, a piece of technology, or any object we take for granted."
Working from his specialized studio in Kent, England, Veasey has developed revolutionary techniques in radiographic imaging that have established an entirely new medium in contemporary art. His process combines scientific precision with artistic intuition, creating images that museums and galleries worldwide recognize as both technically masterful and visually stunning.
From Banal to Beguiling
Veasey's work elevates everyday objects into subjects worthy of gallery walls. His X-ray photographs of luxury items, including Hermès Birkin bags, vintage cameras, and classic automobiles, appeal to collectors who appreciate both craftsmanship and the revelation of hidden complexity. His floral studies transform delicate blooms into architectural marvels of natural engineering.
The technical demands of his medium require extraordinary equipment and expertise. Creating a single radiographic photograph can involve weeks of preparation, multiple exposures, and precise digital assembly. The results transcend classification as mere photographs, possessing the gravitas that motivates science institutions, museums, and art galleries to acquire his works.
His automotive X-rays hold particular appeal for car enthusiasts who collect both vintage automobiles and fine art. Seeing the complete mechanical complexity of a Ferrari or Porsche rendered visible creates a new appreciation for engineering as an art form. Similarly, his studies of musical instruments reveal the precision craftsmanship inside cellos, saxophones, and accordions.
International Recognition
Veasey's work appears in major museums and galleries worldwide. His images have been featured in countless publications and exhibitions, establishing him as the preeminent artist working in radiographic imaging. Collectors value both his artistic vision and the technical mastery required to create each piece.
His photographs range from intimate studies of single flowers to large-scale automotive portraits and commissioned works. Each piece offers viewers the rare experience of seeing familiar objects from an entirely new perspective, where the invisible becomes visible, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
