Hugh Turvey's Flower X-Rays

A row of hyacinths at various stages of development

Hugh Turvey is a contemporary British artist who uses x-rays to capture hauntingly beautiful images.

Hugh, 39, has been fascinated since childhood with getting underneath the surface of things. He said: “I’m driven by my curiosity. It’s about discovering the world around us. As a kid I would take things apart to see what was inside and how they worked. I have an insane curiosity for how things work. X-ray gives me a way to get that insight and turn it into art”
