Hi there

I am selling a framed original Nick Gentry 'canvas', CODE, for £3,000. Canvas is in quotes because the medium is mixed paint and used computer disks on wood.

I purchased this painting in January 2011 from 2R Art, which was the UK gallery that Gentry used at the time. It was painted in 2010, measures 94cm x 63 cm (unframed) and is a signed one-off original. Framing is high quality and UV resistant.

I am selling to cover probate for a family member's death, not to make a profit. I inquired with a US gallery about possibly selling this last year, and was quoted substantially more than £3k - so this is a very fair price, and there's plenty of profit in this if you are a gallery. Happy to share details over PM.

I'm biased but - this is a beaut. Based in Surrey, so ideally anything in Surrey/London is easy peasy for delivery, but can discuss shipping to anywhere. Cheers for reading!

Source imagery and inspiration are always of interest to me. That may also be the case for a few potential buyers.

My guess is that CODE is based on a photograph by Hedi Slimane of Lara Stone. Perhaps Nick Gentry himself would be willing to confirm by email.

The shot below was in the February 2009 issue of Vogue Paris — a special issue focused on Stone (while Carine Roitfeld was still editor-in-chief). Unusually, the model featured alone in all of the fashion editorials.






If your eventual buyer is a completist by nature, they can source a copy of the magazine on eBay. Here's the cover for ease of reference:
