Everything old is new again. The art world surely knows how to take obsolete products and turn them into pieces of art.

I’m sure you have seen plenty on your own, but I really liked the piece I saw at Art Wynwood, Miami (above) which is a mixed media portrait painted on used floppy discs and other outdated technology.

The paintings were created by London-based artist Nick Gentry. The Robert Fontaine Gallery of Miami represents Gentry. The artist claims “The portraits are a history of the things that happen in life, collected into one painting.”

The pieces remind me of Chuck Close’s work. Any thoughts?
