Night Out Oil on Canvas by Cornelie Wolff

Night Out Oil on Canvas

Dimensions: 36 cm x 46 cm x 3.5 cm

Medium: Oil

‘Night Out’! This isn’t just a scene; it’s an exhilarating burst of energy, connection, and the vibrant magic of an evening spent together!

The true magic of this oil on canvas lies in its vibrant atmosphere. The oil on canvas painting hums with an unspoken narrative, suggesting a group united by camaraderie and excitement. It beautifully captures the essence of human connection, the joy of companionship, and the lively spirit of an evening filled with possibility. It’s a bold, modern testament to the beauty found in shared experiences.

Figures emerge from a luminous backdrop of soft pinks and warm golds, each one a unique splash of bold hues – rich blues, fiery reds, sunny yellows, and crisp whites. The absence of precise details invites your imagination to fill in the laughter, the conversations, and the unforgettable moments being shared.

Cornelie Wolff Approaching Art from a Different Angle

This Johannesburg-based artist started as a pharmacist.  After completing her Honours Degree in Psychology, she joined Helios to further her skills in Art Therapy.   During this time, she fell in love with art, the process and the emotional power it yields.

While raising her family, which consisted of three young children, she took part-time classes with Rika de Klerk and Willie Jacobs.  She also attended workshops led by Koos Bronkhorst, Niel Moss, Willie Jacobs, Rentia Coetzee, Ruth Walters, Elize Bezuidenhout, Douw van Heerden, Charla Maarschalk, and Jennifer McChristian.

Today, she practices what she preaches by creating her work under the motto: “With every painting I complete, I grow as a person and an artist.”

My art is created from a place of wonder – it is my dream for every human to never completely lose the child inside them, because it is our ability to see wonder and magic in things.  I use bold brushstrokes, contrast and an impressionistic approach to entice the viewer to create their own interpretation of the subject and become part of my world.
