Artist In Attendance
Bau-Xi Vancouver is thrilled to present Following Echoes, the new solo exhibition by BC-based artist Anne Griffiths. Known for her emotive, abstracted landscapes and elegant palette, Griffiths continues her exploration of natural spaces while delving deeper into the lingering impressions they leave behind. Her work captures both the stillness and subtle vibration present in nature - sensations that emerge through extended contemplation.
The opening of Following Echoes also marks the release of Anne Griffiths' first book, Mapping Nature.
Artist statement:
With Following Echoes, I find myself tracing the quiet patterns and networks within the landscape; the way a long period of observation reveals layers hidden just beneath the surface. When you slow down and truly sit in nature, you begin to perceive a specific kind of logic: the forest holding its own conversations. These paintings are an attempt to capture those resonances; they are echoes of memory rendered through layered colour and gesture.
This exhibition builds on the exploration I began with Mapping Nature; both the exhibition at Bau-Xi Toronto earlier this year and my recently published book. Where that work charted the initial journey through a landscape, translating the immediate memory of a place, this new body of work follows those echoes deeper. It is a more careful look at the stillness and the vibration that remains after the first impression fades.
These paintings translate the feeling of being entirely immersed: the gestural quality of light moving through trees, the sense of standing still while the world around you hums with a quiet, persistent intensity. They exist on the edge between representation and abstraction, mapping not just what the coast looks like, but what it feels like to truly pay attention.
