A new exhibition by nationally renowned photographer, Boo Beaumont, goes on display at the Great Western Hospital in Swindon.

'Beguiling Beauty' is an extraordinary collection of flowers as you've never seen them before.

Flowers literally photographed from the inside.

It's an unusual artform, created by Boo Beaumont, which uses the penetrating power of X-rays.

But the resulting floral radiographs of tulips, roses, anemones and more exotic blooms from London's Covent Garden are extraordinary.

Not only do they reveal the delicate, hidden, architecture within each bloom but for the viewer they make the everyday familiar seem unfamiliar.

And with a back drop of more conventional floral shots 'Beguiling Beauty' becomes a sensual exploration of flowers and there surprisingly strong sculptural presence:

"My aim in making these images is to convey the beguiling beauty of each unique flower by exploring the delicate surface texture, rhythmical shapes of line and form and in some, the intense saturated colours that occur in their complex sensual structure," says Boo.

The exhibition comes on the back of Boo's publicly acclaimed and thought provoking exhibition, 'Remarkable Women', shown in 1999.

'Remarkable Women' featured black and white portraits of Mother Theresa, Betty Boothroyd and Mary Quant, 12 of which were purchased by the National Portrait Gallery which also recognized Boo as one of Britain's outstanding photographers.

Now a portrait photography lecturer, at the University of Bath in Swindon, Boo has had eight solo exhibitions in the last four years and has been short listed for the Kobal Portrait Award.

'Beguiling Beauty' runs from 29 November to 30 January and goes on display at the Ground Floor gallery space of Swindon's Great Western Hospital.

The gallery space is open to the public from 6pm to 8pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 6pm Saturday and Sunday.
