Omschrijving: Artist uses x-ray imagery on bioramas derived from plant life. Art comes in a variety of forms and talented artists have a knack to see things in a unique way. One male artists focuses on x-ray images of nature. Arie van 't Riet uses x-ray imagery on bioramas derived from plant life. But surprisingly, it not the beautiful flowers generating the most attention from viewers. Riet adds dead animals in the x-ray photographs to add a sense of livelihood and gain more interest. In the images, it's impossible to tell that the creatures are deceased. Riet, who not only specializes in x-ray art, is also a registered medical physicist. Riet described his passion and ultimate goal stating "I prefer to X-ray objects of ordinary scenes like a butterfly nearby a flower, a fish in the ocean, a mouse in the field.... Each time it is challenging me to arrive at an X-ray photograph that represents the sentiment of the scene, to raise questions and excite curiosity." His interest in the art piqued when a co-worker asked him to take an x-ray of painting. From there, he began experimenting with nature, specifically flowers, later learning to add hints of color to the black and white images digitally.
