Radiographie De La Mode

The opening and private view for the exhibition, Radiographie De La Mode at Espace, La Vallee Village was held on Saturday the 19th of March.

Over 20 X-rays or perhaps more appropriately, radiographs of fashion and haute couture images were displayed at the gallery and a wedding scene was recreated in X-ray with the bride groom and bridesmaid's outfits represented in life-size.

A number of limited edition Tee-Shirts are available too which depict a racy basque, a DJ with heaphones and microphone and for the kids, a teddy bear - all sporting Nick's signature. La Vallee Village promoted the exhibition in each of its boutiques and shops and the show is proving popular with shoppers interested in seeing the fabric and construction that goes into the garments that they wear.


Limited edition prints mounted here on hangers and hung from clothing rails are also available to buy at La Vallee. The three prints depict a sequined disco bag, a bottle of perfume in a box and a subtly colured X-ray of a pair of sunglasses. These are limited to editions of 50.

We are grateful at Radar Studio for the dedicated advice and curatorial expertise of Benedicte Lesieur Jobbe-Duvall and also Daniela Ribeiro Pereira at La Vallee Village.

X-RAY at Atelier Jungwirth

This weekend the private view for Nick's show at Atelier Jungwirth in Graz, will be held. These pictures demonstrate the fantastic space at the gallery with the images hung and looking magnificent in situ.

Thanks to the formidable efforts of Christian Jungwirth, Birgit Enge and all at the gallery for instigating this exhibition and making a great contribution to support all the hours of work, creating the artworks at Radar Studio.

Opening at Atelier Jungwirth, Graz

The exhibition, Nick Veasey: X-ray will open at Atelier Jungwirth, Graz, Austria on March 15th . A new selection of art works  have been produced with several themes represented in the show.

There are a number of pieces which are X-ray studies of marine life including radiographs of a West Indian Sea Egg and a Matha's Sea Urchin. These are complemented by smaller pieces showing the shells of a sand dollar, pearl shell and a crown of thorns sea star. 

Nick's renowned studies of botanical subjects are represented in a stunning triptych of an amarylis, ice cap and dendrobium alongside a larger print entitled Solo Iris. A unique wedding scene provides the centre-piece of the exhibition with life-size X-rays of the bride and groom. The tiny bridesmaid is there too, standing alongside the happy couple. Look out for the drunken auntie, throwing some shapes on the dancefloor!

Local entertainment comes in the form of a native Austrian accordian player dressed in  traditional lederhose with a detailed and intricate accordian strapped to his chest.

The most exciting and unique pieces in the exhibition are 3 new works which have been hand-made at Radar Studio's darkroom. These works continue the musical theme displayed in the X-ray of the accordian. Produced by using perhaps the oldest methods of photography, namely plate photography, three brass instruments: a cornet, french horn and saxophone have been handprinted onto glass and sit in ornate frames with the image casting an intriguing shadow onto a recessed backing. These pieces echo the unique physical properties of X-ray film.

The exhibition runs from March until June at:
