Notes


Nick Gentry born in 1980, is a British artist and Central St Martins graduate. With exhibitions across the globe, his work unites past and future, using recycled technological artefacts as a canvas for his unique portraiture.

Exploring the evolving relationship between humans and technology, Gentry questions our compatibility with our own creations, and challenges viewers to consider our cultural and social transition. Gentry's works repurpose obsolete items, inviting the public to contribute and collectively reclaim their past. The portraits, devoid of traditional rendered 'skin', expose a mosaic of historic media, echoing the shifting perception of truth in our digital age.

His art, a fusion of old technology and personal narratives, scrutinises societal pressures such as beauty standards and the pursuit of youth, comparing human ageing with technology obsolescence. They also serve as testaments to the imperfection of human memory and our shared experiences.

Gentry's works, displayed in renowned public locations, and his collaboration with charities, underline his commitment to social art projects. His art invites us to engage in a conversation about identity, beauty, and time in our digital age.
