About "Lowveld Scene with Cumulus Clouds"

I can remember my emotions well when, as a young boy, I first looked at a print of a Pierneef landscape. The painting was of a cluster of indigenous trees in the Transvaal Bushveld and I was immediately aware of the artist's great love for the landscape before him. I was overwhelmed by the complete peace and harmony of the artwork. He achieved this through the use of the long horizontal lines of the open veld, broken here and there by the vertical lines of the trees with their umbrella-like tops, complimented by the round shapes of the thunder clouds, that are so typical of the Transvaal summer.

I was born a half century after this great artist, but ever since I started painting at the age of 12, my landscapes always ended up showing elements of the Pierneef style. As I grew older I realized how much his work inspired me and how much pleasure I derived from painting these "Pierneef landscapes". I try to capture the mood, the simplicity and the decorative feel, to create my own "Hannes van der Walt"

About Hannes

Hannes van der Walt

Hannes van der Walt was born in Springs in 1939. Since his early childhood days he has had a love for drawing and working in colour. During his high school days he took private art classes with Mr Frans Prins, a local teacher and artist, who introduced him to the basics of oil painting. After his Matric year he took art classes with the famous artist Brian Nash. Here a delicate awareness for keener observation and study of detail was awakened in him. At the age of 24 Hannes had his first solo exhibition in the Springs library hall.

Hannes retired in 1997 to apply himself full time to painting. Hannes is an artist, who loves the scenery around Stellenbosch and the Boland. He is inspired by the rich colours during flowering season in Namaqualand, the wide open spaces of the Karroo and the interesting coast line of the Western and Southern Cape.

Hannes's paintings appeal to each person's inner appreciation for the beauty of nature, but also calls to mind the inconceivable wonder of God's creation. His work can be found in various local galleries and in many private collections in South Africa, Australia, America, Britain, Ireland, The Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, Germany, France, New Zealand,South Korea, Hungary and Scotland
