NICK GENTRY
British artist Nick Gentry re-uses obsolete media such as floppy disks and film negatives to canvas iconic mixed media portraits of the 'Urbanite'. The result is an archaeological display of digital history, memorializing the brief yet crucial roles they played in modern technology. Gentry's works tell the personal stories of people and their dependency on computerized storage to hold very detail of their life–from personal information to intimate photos. As technology continues to advance, Gentry traces the effects of these changes as well as the reflects on its future. Nick Gentry was born in London, UK and graduated from Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design in the UK. He currently lives and works in London.
