The British artist Nick Veasy has just delivered 8 works of art at the M.A.D Gallery: 8 X-rayed works of art, created in his very particular studio in the South of England. The artist established himself in a converted Cold War spying station in the Kent countryside (and you will soon understand why). He reveals to us the invisible…
“I want to excite people and help them appreciate the things around them in a new way”. And that new way which he refers to is the use of radiographic imaging equipment . Cult objects such as a typewriter or Mitchell Film camera, the VW Beetle and even Superman are revealed to us from the inside, creating a whole new perspective.
And if Nick Veasy has decided to isolate himself, it’s mostly due to the fact that his artistic technique implicates lethal levels and emission times of X-rays. Surrounded by high-density concrete and steel doors, the artist became a bridge between science and art.
“X-ray is a very honest process, it shows things for what they are. In this superficial world, that’s quite refreshing. It shows a product or an organic thing for how it is made – the design, the ingenuity that goes into them, warts and all.”
