Quidley & Company proudly presents "Forensic Beauty," a captivating exhibition by the internationally acclaimed British artist Nick Veasey. On view from February 12 to March 1, 2025, this remarkable collection showcases Veasey’s unique approach to art—using x-ray technology to reveal the hidden structures of objects, exposing the intricate details that lie beneath the surface. An opening reception with the artist will take place on Wednesday, February 12, from 5 to 7 PM, offering attendees an exclusive opportunity to engage with the creative mind behind these mesmerizing works.
Unveiling the Invisible
Celebrating three decades of pioneering x-ray artistry, "Forensic Beauty" features a curated selection of Veasey’s latest works alongside several classics that have defined his career. His artistic philosophy challenges the notion of superficiality, emphasizing that true value lies beneath the exterior. Through the precise and delicate medium of x-ray imaging, Veasey strips away the outer layers of objects to expose their raw, intricate beauty.
The exhibition’s pieces evoke a sense of curiosity and wonder, simultaneously familiar and enigmatic. Whether capturing the delicate structures of nature or the complexity of human-made machines, Veasey’s works invite viewers to see the world in an entirely new light. His ability to balance scientific rigor with artistic expression has earned him a place in prestigious museums and collections across the globe.
The Art and Science of X-Ray Imaging
Creating art with x-rays is as much a technical endeavor as it is a creative one. Veasey’s process involves working within a specially designed radiation-proof studio, where he meticulously composes each x-ray image. The procedure is intricate—varying exposure times based on material density, assembling multiple scans for larger subjects, and enhancing details through digital processing. Some works retain their monochromatic purity, while others are infused with subtle color, accentuating their ghostly allure.
Despite the inherent challenges of working with radiation, Veasey has built a distinguished career, collecting over 50 awards and exhibiting worldwide. His work has been featured in major institutions, including the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and Fotografiska in Stockholm, where his solo exhibition broke attendance records. He has also gained widespread media attention, with appearances on the BBC, The Discovery Channel, The Today Show, and extensive coverage in international print and digital publications.
