London artist Nick Gentry has found a muse on our throwaway culture. He appropriates obsolete tech materials – like floppy disks and VHS tape – as the media for his paintings.
I love his paintings' aesthetic.
“Since graduating from Central St Martins in 2006, the focus has been to explore how technological advancement is affecting society. Throughout history, information has always been recorded on physical objects. Important documents, favourite songs, videos and more were stored on mountains of tapes, polaroids, cassettes and disks. As media is rapidly absorbed into the World Wide Web the rich variety of formats of the past are becoming obsolete.”
