NICK
VEASEY
Nick Veasey, is an English artist best known for using X-ray technology to reveal the deepest layers of his subjects. While working as a photographer and designer for a morning television show in England, he was assigned the monotonous task of X-raying soda cans to determine which ones contained a winning code for a contest sponsored by Pepsi. After three days without a winner, he X-rayed his sneakers as a form of entertainment. Veasey recalls, “It was a great image and I thought “there’s something to this.”
Afterwards, he spent the next three months working with scientists to perfect his technique. He learned to gauge object density and structure by experimenting with a variety of materials including plastic, flowers, metals and people, taking the utmost care with his living subjects.
His works are a classic example of the fusion between art and science. The results transcend classification as photographs, having the gravitas to motivate science institutions and art galleries to acquire the artworks.
His intriguing visuals led to assignments for Nike, Porsche, IBM, Bloomberg, and the European edition of Time.

CHROMALUX
Chromaluxe prints in float frames. Chromaluxe is a durable and archival process where the high-resolution x-ray is baked onto metal by dye sublimation. Our recommended finish is gloss and these are so well finished many people think they are back-lit lightboxes, but it is just the high quality x-ray appearing from the deep black background that make these ‘pop’.

LENTICULAR
Our x-ray lenticulars give the illusion of movement by merging two or more different images together. Over the top of the spliced image is a PETG plastic magnifying lens which show the viewer a different image as the image is viewed from different angles.
It is amusing that this motion brings our x-ray of cadavers to life. By creating x-ray portraits of iconic figures, Nick’s constant reference mantra of “inside we are all the same” becomes even more resonant.
