Crean & Company Information

Crean & Company is an online gallery founded by collector Nick Crean and art historian Clementine Perrins. The gallery acts as a digitally curated space with viewing rooms full of curiosity, colour and conversation - a timely online celebration of artists, makers and collectors. The artists and makers who make up the “& Company” are each creative explorers, always assessing their own talents and finding a very personal language through which to tell their stories. Combining that trilogy of eye, mind and hand, their works are full of colour, originality, texture, draughtsmanship and sheer hard work. Founder Nick Crean says: ‘The pleasure of collecting sits at the heart of Crean & Company’s ambition to introduce artists and makers. I have no more forgotten the story of the first painting I ever fell in love with, than I look forward to the excitement with which I will meet the next. By bringing artists and collectors together we will be able to create a classical dynamic, the art of patronage, buildings artists’ reputations and curating collections.’ Co-founder Clementine Perrins adds: ‘We have a desire to ignite conversations between artist and collector. For the collector to become a patron of the arts is not to be stuck in the concept of buying for investment; at Crean & Company we sell because we love the work, because it is a reflection of the time and place we are in.’
