EYE BUY ART helps individual collectors, trade professionals, and organizations discover the perfect artwork for any project. Through our online gallery, pop-ups, and custom consulting services, we are a gateway to connect with award-winning, innovative, and thought-provoking artwork.
We support you to make the best choice in finding art that’s right for you. Whether that be a direct sale through our website, through our Trade program for industry professionals, or through our Custom Art Solutions consulting.
The EYE BUY ART advantage lies in our non-traditional methods. We do not represent or act as agents for artists, instead we constantly scour the globe for artwork that we believe offers the most exciting and thought-provoking selection. This means we are never limited in what we are able to offer, and artists are never bound to us as their sole dealer (win-win!). For custom art solutions clients, this means we tailor our selections specifically to what you’re looking for, each and every time.
Our work follows a passionate belief in the power of art to create inspiring experiences. We’re constantly experimenting with innovative strategies that enhance our digital presence, alongside projects that take place in the physical world. These projects include international art fairs, pop-ups, strategic partnerships, and temporary public art exhibitions.
EYE BUY ART has been making walls happy since 2009. We’ve shipped prints to over 30 countries worldwide, and have been featured in numerous publications including Architectural Digest, Business Week, Real Simple, Style at Home, Elle Magazine, Chatelaine, enRoute, House & Home, The Globe and Mail, and The Huffington Post, among others.
