Night Reflections
Artist: Sophi Odling
This work focuses on the balance between day and night and elements of nature – water, earth and air.
There is a romanticised beauty where these meet and a serene energy when together after dark.
Sophi Odling
Sophi Odling paints large-scale murals around the globe – across Europe, America, Asia and Australia. In 2005, Sophi completed her Bachelor of Fine Art at UNSW College of Fine Arts.
Her vivid dreamscapes create narratives that reflect the environment and people she encounters. Her work aims to encourage borderless minds, celebrate the acceptance of cultural diversity, and focuses on the beautiful innocence of youth.
This artwork exploring the energy created between day and night and elements of nature is a perfect reflection of Sydney’s Waterfront precinct. Where the harbour’s waters meets 7km of the foreshore’s ancient sandstone, the Waterfront is Sydney’s ultimate 24-hour destination. From morning markets at the Fishmarket or park, to live music in the wee small hours, the Waterfront never sleeps.
