HANNES VAN DER WALT (1939-):
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. 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.
In 1967 Hannes attained his B.A. Degree in Fine Art and the Higher Teachers Diploma at the University of Pretoria. During these years he still practised fine art as a hobby and a method of relaxation. In 1988 he had another solo exhibition at the Museum in Caledon.
Hannes retired in 1997 to apply himself full time to painting. In November 1997 he had a successful solo exhibition at the St Pauls church hall in Stellenbosch. During February 2002, eight of his paintings were exhibited at the annual Flower and Garden Show in Seattle, USA.
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. He mainly paints in a realistic-impressionistic style.
His work can be found in various local galleries and in many private collections in South Africa, Australia, America, Britain, The Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, Germany, France, New Zealand, China and South Korea.
