Interview with Nick Gentry<\/h2>\n

Best known for his haunting portraits, London-based artist Nick Gentry draws on donated, obsolete technological materials as the grounds for his paintings. Questioning the fundamental relationship between technology, society and identity, Gentry uses CDs, film negatives, cassettes and floppy disks to comment \u201con the speed and extent of the changes that are taking place today.\u201d In Tania Mundell’s Kolaj<\/em> #18 interview with him, Gentry talks about the \u201cchaotic and intuitive\u201d process behind each portrait, why he uses obsolete objects and the impact new technological advances may have on his work.<\/p>\n

Faces are like a map of somebody\u2019s life, over time it changes and it shows so much about a person. With the way that we live now, faces are sort of becoming new. Portraiture has to respond to the idea of things like biometrics.<\/em><\/h2>\n

Gentry studied at the Liverpool College of Art and graduated from Central Saint Martins in London in 2006. Since then, the artist has shown extensively around the world, including shows in United Kingdom, Belgium, Peru, Singapore, and the United States. In 2016, he exhibited with C24 Gallery at the fairs, Contemporary Istanbul and Art Miami. He is represented by Robert Fontaine Gallery in Miami. See more at his website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
