Floppy disks. Nick Gentry

You probably remember those "hi-tech memory storage devices" we had just a decade ago. Now they look clumsy and awkward for us, while Nick Gentry managed to use them as a relief canvas for his paintings giving his works a scent of digital era admixed with the gentle touch of brush strokes. Having graduated from London College Art Nick pays much attention to the contents of diskettes as, according to him, it is vitally important that those disks had their own lives and stories.
