About "The Small House"
Framed size: (706x606x50)mm
I am intrigued by the simple beauty of the old houses that once made up the unique Malay Quarter on the slopes of Signal Hill in Cape Town. During the last 50 years, most of the old houses have either been demolished or restored. Therefore the artist who aspires to recapture the old ambience has to rely on informative records, drawings and pictures from that period as well as a good bit of imagination.
The pure enjoyment of painting textures to be found on old walls and other surfaces, relating to old buildings, was enough motivation for me to start painting! The small house infront of the other buildings caught my eye.
The buildings in my paintings do not claim to be architecturally correct. My main aim was to capture the feeling, and to let personal creativeness and imagination do the rest.

About Hannes
HANNES DIED ON 9 JULY 2024 - NO WORKS WILL BE SOLD WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE FAMILY.
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
