OPENING RECEPTION: Forensic Beauty by FineArt XRAY Photographer Nick Veasey

Please join Morton Contemporary in welcoming British X-Ray fine art photographer, Nick Veasey, and his touring exhibition “Foresnic Beauty” for an opening reception on Friday, April 25th, from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm.

A true master class in blending art and science, this is an exhibition you won’t want to miss! Veasey has had 5 museum retrospectives: Mass MOCA, Fotagrafiska Stockholm, Erarta Museum St. Petersburg, Seoul Arts Center, and Amore Pacific Museum Korea.

“Forensic Beauty” is an ode to Veasey’s 30-year career as a fine art x-ray photographer. Nick’s process is completely unique. Working almost exclusively with X-ray technology, Veasey masterfully manipulates lethal radiation to create a dazzling balance of extremes. His work transforms the raw, scientific precision of X-ray images into graceful works of beauty, while revealing the intricate details of bones and everyday objects within different narrative contexts. Veasey is one of the few artists globally using radiographic imaging and lenticular printing, transforming the human form and mundane objects into mesmerizing studies of form and light. Veasey’s wit and irony remains a constant in his work, old and new. With a background in photography and a passion for experimentation, the artist pushes the boundaries of perception, using radiation to unveil the artistic truths beneath solid matter.

Nick Veasey’s work has earned him international acclaim, featured in prestigious art institutions and science museums worldwide. Notably, his inclusion in the British National Collection of Photography at the Victoria and Albert Museum highlights the lasting impact of his innovative art.
