Capulet Art Gallery is proud to present Imagination Games art exhibition, a solo exhibition by renowned Canadian contemporary artist Pnina Granirer. The exhibition opened on Saturday, July 12, 2025 in Richmond, and will run until Saturday, Aug. 9, 2025.
The show features two compelling print series — the Guanajuato Series and Wings of Memory — offering visitors a richly symbolic and visually striking exploration of place, memory, and transformation.
Pnina Granirer artwork spans more than six decades of expressive and symbolic visual storytelling. A Romanian-born Canadian artist, Granirer creates paintings, drawings, prints, and digital mixed media works. Her art explores memory, identity, mythology, exile, and the emotional experience of being human. Whether using brush or screen, Pnina Granirer artwork combines poetic imagery with political insight and experimental form.
Granirer studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Santiago, Chile. After immigrating to Canada in 1965, she quickly became an active presence in Vancouver’s art community. She founded Artists in Our Midst—the city’s first open studio event. It encouraged local engagement and expanded public access to the arts.
This early commitment to visibility and mentorship continues to shape her legacy.
Pnina Granirer’s artwork has been shown in more than 60 solo exhibitions across Canada, the U.S., and Europe. Her exhibitions have appeared at the Richmond Art Gallery, Sidney & Gertrude Zack Gallery, Yukon Arts Centre, and Fundación Eugenio Granell in Spain.
She has also contributed to group exhibitions in France, Chile, Israel, Italy, and the United States. These shows brought her work to new audiences and fostered global conversations.
Over 40 public institutions hold Pnina Granirer artwork in their collections. These include the Vancouver Art Gallery, Glenbow Museum, Simon Fraser University, Yad Vashem Museum in Jerusalem, and Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende in Santiago, Chile.
Her inclusion in these collections reflects the depth and universality of her vision.
Granirer has received notable public commissions throughout her career. These include two paintings for Vancouver International Airport and a major piece for Temple Shalom in Vancouver.
She has earned several awards for her creative work. Among them is the Alcuin Citation for The Trials of Eve, a project that blends image and text to explore transformation, mythology, and womanhood.
