On my desktop, on my mind

I've been captivated by Nick Gentry's art this week. Mixed and recycled media, portraits sort of dripping emotion... This guy has nailed a feeling I've had for awhile. The floppy disks and VH1s he paints on make me nostalgic; the ages of the people he portrays places them as having grown up on his mediums. It's strange that our generation is so literally expressed through these types of canvasses. 20 years ago to today we've all acquired  a digital expression that, I think, is very much the same across the board. We're all a little lonely, a little pixelated. Challenging, maybe feeling panicked like we're spinning - connecting with each other in ways that are surprisingly moving and real despite feeling a little cold.
