This isn't just any mini—it's a life-size, real British classic captured in an X-ray artwork shown at Bluerider ART London·Mayfair. Artist Nick Veasey utilises X-ray to dive deep into intricate details, exposing every component and revealing the beauty in the unseen. Due to the size limitations of X-ray and the various components in the car, each requiring different levels of radiation exposure for X-ray photography, Nick Veasey dismantled the mini, photographed each piece individually and finally reassembling them to create this masterpiece.

Internationally renowned X-ray artist Nick Veasey reveals the hidden facets beneath the surface using his unique X-ray penetration technique. His work humorously and mischievously explores the essence of people and objects' inner nature. Nick Veasey uses x-ray to strip back the layers and show what it is like under the surface. The technique reveals what, and often how, things are made, which grants his art to penetrate the surface and take us on a journey into a world otherwise hidden and unseen. Veasey has an extensive exhibition experience worldwide, with his artwork featured on the cover of TIME magazine and invited to give a TED talk. In 2018, he held a large-scale exhibition at the renowned Fotografiska museum in Sweden, visited by The Prince and Princess of Wales and the Crown Princess of Sweden.
