Blown Away
Artist: Nick Veasey
Nick Veasey’s Blown Away freezes a moment of glorious sensory overload: a figure thrown back into his armchair by the sheer physical force of sound, drink flung from his hand, lamp bent double, everything in the room caught in the blast from a single speaker. The image plays on one of the most enduring pieces of hi-fi imagery ever made, and Veasey reimagines it from the inside out, the X-ray revealing the skeleton braced against the wave of music washing over him.
Beneath the comedy of the scene lies something Veasey returns to often: the body completely surrendered to pleasure. Blown Away is about the rare, total experience of being overtaken, the instant when sound stops being something you hear and becomes something that physically moves you. By stripping the figure to bone, Veasey reminds us that this rapture is a deeply physical thing, felt in the frame as much as the ears, and that the pursuit of such moments is one of the more human reasons we are here at all.
Rendered with Veasey’s characteristic clarity, the chaos of the scene reads in a single luminous layer, every object suspended in mid-flight. The piece is made for a listening room, media space or any interior with a sense of humour, and speaks to music lovers and collectors drawn to bold, narrative work. Blending science, photography and fine art, Blown Away is produced as a strictly limited edition.
