Whether you most enjoy the simplicity of an unfolding Triumph Tulip, the graceful lines of a Callasilver, or the intricate structures of a Japanese Lantern, you'll be truly amazed by the delicate inner beauty that is revealed in the floral art found in our X-ray Botanicals series by Steven N. Meyers.
"The earliest floral radiographs were created over 70 years ago, and even today there are only a few radiographic artists in the world. It is my intention to keep the art form alive with new and exciting images and I am committed to seeking out interesting subjects in nature."
-- Steven N. Meyers
The combination of scientific technique and true artistry of these exquisite museum-quality prints will astound art-lovers and casual observers alike.
"Steven N. Meyers is not a botanist, but his photographs might suggest otherwise. Trained as a medical X-ray technologist, Meyers has applied radiography techniques to botanic specimens, capturing the details, and structural relationships of a plant that are otherwise unseen."
-- From Anna Laurent of GardenDesign
And from Merrill C. Raikes, MD:
"The composition, form, drama of lighting, and overall balance make an image powerful and pleasing. A mood is created, evoking a feeling of beauty. With the x-ray print, the viewer becomes excited about the exacting detail and depiction of delicacy and complexity of structure. The complicated framework upon which the whole is spread becomes lush and evocative."
-- From "Floral Radiography: Using X rays to Create Fine Art," RadioGraphics, Merrill C. Raikes, MD
With over 160 fine-art prints in our X-ray Botanicals series, there is sure to be something for everyone -- and this fascinating collection isn't limited to floral art alone, it also features breathtaking images of the beach and intriguing sea creatures.
