Anne Griffiths | Everything Under the Sun
Solo Exhibition

3045 Granville Street, Vancouver
Opening Reception: Saturday June 7, 2-4pm | Artist In Attendance


Anne Griffiths’ newest solo exhibition, Everything Under the Sun, is replete with the vitality of nature and the optimism found in light. Rooted in the rich landscapes of Vancouver Island, her work fluidly moves between abstraction and impressionism, offering a contemporary perspective on the Canadian environment. Driven by intuition and energized by sunlight, these paintings are both personal reflections and universal invitations—to notice beauty, to nurture kindness, and to find brightness even in shadow. With an international exhibition record and a distinctive visual language, Griffiths continues to share her evolving dialogue with nature through vibrant, thoughtful compositions.

Anne Griffiths’ work has been shown in Canada, the UK and Europe in both solo and group exhibitions and has been placed in numerous private and corporate collections. Most recently her work was selected for group exhibitions in Paris, Berlin and London, and will be exhibiting in both group and solo exhibitions in Vancouver, London, Copenhagen and Turin in 2025.  

Artist Statement:
 
There is a frenzied energy I gain from immersing myself in a sunny natural setting. The sun supercharges me, much like it powers all of our natural world. In this new body of work entitled Everything Under the Sun, I have chosen to chase after these simple sources of inspiration in nature and channel this positive energy onto the canvas.
Recently I have needed to be reminded that light can filter through to even the darkest places, just as kindness remains in the darkest of times if we seek it out and give it room to grow.

There is nothing more sunburst-like in nature than a dandelion flower, and, when they go to seed, they become a symmetrical ball of energy formed in a precise firework-like display of regeneration before their seeds float off like delicate little dancers into the future to share more sunshine with the world. I take a lot of strength from their endurance - like the sun, it is a source of energy that powers me.

The paintings in this exhibition are my way of floating out seeds of lightness into the world in the hopes that they will foster admiration for nature and encourage kindness.  

-Anne Griffiths, 2025
