‘I have stripped the cassette back to a stand-alone object, in the same way that Andy Warhol stripped back the soup can.’
Horace Panter’s lifelong passions are music and art, and this new collection combines them to stunning effect.
Also known as the bassist from The Specials, Horace has always been fascinated by the humble cassette, which played such a pivotal role in the dissemination of music in the 1970s and 80s. Cassettes may be obsolete, but they still evoke a powerful sense of nostalgia. Taking inspiration from the Pop Art tradition, Horace has created iconic works of art from these everyday objects.
