Pending: Guest Edit by Louise Chignac, Co-founder of Canopy Collections
Pending Window Display, San Mei Gallery, 2020
We're delighted to present the third guest edit of our winter fundraiser Pending by Louise Chignac, Co-founder of Canopy Collections @canopycollections.
Canopy Collections selects and sells artworks by international living artists through four seasonal collections a year, curated in the form of domestic displays. Their mission is to offer a new approach to discovering and buying contemporary art.
Louise has selected 5 of her favourite works from the 60+ works we have available.
All sales help us fundraise towards the costs of our 2021-22 exhibitions and the education projects with our local Lambeth communities that run alongside them. Profits are split 50/50 between the artists and this fundraising initiative. All purchases will support emerging artists, new projects and community outreach.
Pending continues online and on display in our windows until 31 December.
“Made with horsehair and glazed ceramic, this series of Guardian Tassels by Camilla Bliss feels truly precious. There’s something fascinating about the idea that objects, and even artworks, can protect us within our homes.”
“I love Francesca Anfossi’s playful approach to art making and the way she subverts traditional ideas relating to domesticity and the home. A plate that can be used as a necklace, it’s simply genius.”
“Spoon Me by Edit Collective straightaway reminded me of spoon feeding my sons when they were babies. There is something very touching about this object, which speaks of caring and sharing.”
“I’ve always admired the way William Cobbing uses raw clay to produce works that speak of our visceral and absurd condition as human beings. This miniature version of Remake Remodel is a great discovery, as I curated a show in Plymouth six years ago that presented its original, bigger version.”
“I love seasons, all of them. I really couldn’t choose one over another. This little work on paper by Stef Hunter is an enchanting representation of autumn’s mood and colours. It is crisp and very much alive at the same time.”
