A new public exhibition on tour by international x-ray artist Hugh Turvey, exposing the form and function of nature.

Hugh Turvey, Artist in Residence of the British Institute of Radiology, was commissioned to prepare 10 pieces of X-ray art entitled “Hidden Garden”, for the Canary Wharf Group to be displayed in the Foster & Partners Crossrail Place Roof Garden this year.  While the original plans necessarily had to evolve, the exhibition will be touring a number of sites where it will be showcased over 2021, some of which are listed below.


About the Exhibit
Hidden Garden is an aesthetic scientific representation of flora and algae, using the medium of x-ray imaging to highlight the hidden architectural structures within the subjects. Each image covers a theme including sustainability, habitat, pollinators and medicinal, each with a caption explaining the science, research or statistics behind the image.

This exhibition has been created during the pandemic. COVID-19 has caused a global health crisis and forced economies to shut down in the face of strict quarantine measures. However, the outbreak has had some unexpected positive impacts on Earth’s environment as nations restrict the movement of people and perhaps now is the time to rebalance our relationship with nature.

Hugh Turvey, x-ray Artist, London
Aesthetic reinvention of x-ray that bridges the gap between art/science, graphic design and pure photography. His work is exhibited globally. Clients include private collectors, art agents, galleries and corporations. Other agency collaborations include marketing/advertising, design/publishing, TV/film, architectural/interior design.
 
The main supporting partner is Fauna & Flora International but Algae-UK and Cambridge Conservation Initiative are also supporting this exhibition.

​Mission

A key aim for these works was to demystify the process of taking x-ray images and explain to patients the science behind the process in workshops with the equipment. Staff and the public were involved in bringing interest objects and revealing their structure or content by using x-rays with a qualified radiographer. The children particularly enjoyed the workshop process, seeing science being brought alive and learning with their parents seemed a mutually beneficial and fun experience. 95% of participants from the workshops said they would be interested in using the Radiology equipment again and had enjoyed the opportunity.

From these sessions we were able to collect data from the groups about what they wanted in terms of information from leaflets and staff they may meet. It was good to collect this data on their concerns in order to develop effective communication, and to combat their fears as much as possible. It is important to create (wherever possible) positive experiences within the hospital environment to reduce stress for further visits if required.

Visions of Science is a photographic awards scheme organised by Novartis Pharmaceuticals to encourage ongoing discussion about science. Images that inspire, amuse, enthuse and make us question the world.
You are welcome to visit the Visions of Science exhibition and participate in a master class by London-based photographer Artemi Kyriacou and Hugh Turvey, one of this year’s Visions of Science winners. Their orchid flower uses X-ray photography, a traditionally scientific technique, but uses it to image a non-scientific subject. The end result is without doubt a perfect marriage of art and science.
Artemi Kyriacou and Hugh Turvey set up “Gustoimages” in London 1999 to produce creative and innovative imagery for the advertising, design, editorial and publishing industries.
