Croyds focuses on curating and offering small-scale artworks rich with meaning, bridging the gap between collectors and contemporary artists from around the globe. Driven by a vision to reshape how small artworks are viewed, we aim to elevate their status as sought-after collectibles in the art world.
About the curator
Mevin Runganaikaloo is a Montreal-based collector-curator, devoted to cultivating a refined eye for art and fostering a passion for storytelling. He reimagines contemporary art engagement by emphasizing the transformative power of small, impactful works.
Montreal native, Mevin Runganaikaloo, has been working as an independent curator for nearly 7 years. His Mauritian roots instilled his core family values of honesty, passion, grit. Mevin prides himself in his unwavering commitment to highlighting artistic excellence in the Montreal visual arts scene — with an added focus of honoring authorship and ownership of creative works.
The Croyds concept — amplifying our spiritual connection to physical art — is paradoxically anchored in the digital experience landscape.
His curatorial method can be described as “Show & Tell” — documenting and showcasing an artist or artwork, while inviting the viewer the freedom to make their own assumptions or interpretations. Mevin’s curiosity and eloquence arms him with an unparalleled ability to imbue art collectors with a renewed sense of introspection.
This intangible emotional relationship between artist and collector transcends the custodial transaction. Mevin’s humanistic approach to curation aims to strengthen the compelling nature of this relationship.
