Arlo SINCLAIR

BIOGRAPHY

Computer programmer turned artist, Arlo Sinclair’s oil paintings are a homage to the functional beauty of magneto-digital storage (and the data contained therein)... each with a light-hearted twist.

TECHNIQUE

Sinclair’s work ethic is second to none: every painting includes subtle messages and clues that reveal the hidden meaning behind each. He will often spend days, carefully reworking ideas on paper before even picking up a paintbrush.

His own collection of floppy disks and storage media is huge. His obsession with these disks - the data they contain and what they say about their previous owners - is at the centre of his work. Arlo Sinclair's first two screen print editions sold out within a matter of minutes and the waiting list for his originals is a who's-who of important collectors and the tech world.
