Canopy Collections was founded in London in 2020 by Louise Chignac and Cécile Ganansia. Since our creation, we have been dedicated to broadening access to the art market and encouraging a new generation of art buyers to start collecting. We operate beyond the traditional model of the white cube gallery. We are dealers, advisors and gallerists, with a programme that encompasses major collaborations and nomadic exhibitions.

In September 2024, we opened our first permanent space in the historic area of Bloomsbury, London. From our HQ, we host a regular programme of exhibitions and facilitate private viewings for collectors.

Louise Chignac started her career in 2010 as curatorial assistant to Guillaume Désanges (now President of the Palais the Tokyo, Paris). After studying art history at La Sorbonne University in Paris, she moved to London in 2012 to complete her MA in Curating at Goldsmiths College. From 2014 to 2018, she managed Cranford Collection, one of the most significant private collections of contemporary art in Europe. In 2015, she contributed to the inaugural edition of the Art Night festival in London and co-edited its first publication, Expanding the City’s Boundaries. In 2016, she collaborated with Christie’s London on a major private collection sale entitled Absobloodylutely! and its original catalogue. Louise has curated over fifty exhibitions and written extensively about artists and their work.

Cécile Ganansia started her career in Asset Management in Paris. In 2013, she set up Brain Circle UK, a major foundation for brain research based in London. She worked in partnership with the Sainsbury’s Foundation on developing a programme of lectures and events that explored the themes of art and science, in collaboration with many international artists. In 2019, Cécile was involved with the Christie’s Contemporary Art Degree in London.

Since 2020, we have collaborated with international galleries, institutions, brands and private collectors to curate remarkable exhibitions and events in various settings. Our clients and collaborators include Home House, London; Lodha; The Twenty Two, London; Selfridges London; Hôtel Coulanges, Paris; Modernity Stockholm; Barnes International; The Invisible Collection; The Royal Society of Sculptors, London; Thomas Dane Gallery, London; AWITA; Gertrude the Art App; 14 Cavendish, London; Stern Pissarro Gallery; Härb Nuti; Bowman Sculpture, London; The Van Gogh House, London; Turnbull & Asser; Bourne Offices, London; Design Anthology UK; Zoe Masterton-Smith; M de M Architects; Carpente Achitecture; Finch Design.
