Artist Nick Gentry Paints Portraits on Canvases of Used Floppy Disks

UK artist Nick Gentry paints wonderful portraits on obsolete media formats such as 3.5″ floppy disks.

His portraits use a combination of obsolete media formats, making a comment on waste culture, life cycles and identity. Using old disks as a canvas, these artefacts are combined to create photo-fits and identities that may draw connections to the personal information that is then forever locked down underneath the paint.
