01About this work
The A-side, and a companion to Serie 2 — same hand-cut cassette, recast in a cooler key. Pinks, greens and blues stack into the spools and shell, ringed by candy-bright borders, the obsolete object lovingly rebuilt screw by paper screw. Pure tactile nostalgia: a defunct technology preserved, even celebrated, as something worth keeping.

Why we built ArtMatch
Art belongs in every home, not just a few.
For too long, real art has felt like it was meant for someone else. The right address, the right names, the quiet sense that you needed permission to begin. We never believed that. If a work stops you in your tracks, you are already a collector.
So we built ArtMatch to bring art to everyone. Take a short style quiz and a real curator finds you work you genuinely love, from living artists we know and curate personally, as editions at the right price or originals when a piece truly moves you.
What we are really after is simple. Homes filled with art that brings joy, a new generation of collectors who buy with their own eyes, and a place where the work of human hands is seen, valued, and lived with for years to come.

I met David in 2021, and since we both travel constantly, we cross paths every now and then - Paris, Tokyo, Dubai. We're both busy, but every time I get to see him I'm thrilled, because he's such an authentic person. Over the years we've stayed connected through the distance and the internet, which is so rare. He's built an incredible world around his artwork, with a style all his own, one that blends painting and drawing with the culture I grew up on: anime, videogames, and the internet. All these years I've watched him create some of the most stunning work I've ever seen, and it's a real experience to finally have his art at home.

I love Katy’s work! Not only does her art resonate with me so much. It’s brought me so much extra confidence, peace, and joy. We met online a few years ago and I wish I had met her sooner. I would love for more people to experience what I have when finally finding “the one” art piece I’ve been looking for forever. At the time I couldn’t afford the “Red” one. And Katy made it happen for me. A few years later, we got to meet in person, meditate in a cave, and enjoy eating street food all over Malaysia. Everything felt like it just fell into place. The good, the bad, and the balanced.

Proper museum-grade feel
I have bought prints before that felt flimsy. This is a different league, the texture and weight are lovely. Worth every penny.

Exactly the piece I did not know I wanted
Took the quiz on a whim and it matched me to something I would never have found on my own. It is so me. Obsessed.
