Sophi Odling is an Australian muralist and visual artist born in 1983 in Seoul, South Korea, and raised in Sydney, where she still lives and works. After graduating with a BFA from UNSW College of Fine Arts in 2005, she spent fourteen years in the fashion industry before turning to large-scale painting in 2016. Her colourful dreamscapes now span walls across America, Europe, Asia and Australia, translating the people, streets and cultures she encounters into vivid narratives that celebrate diversity and the innocence of youth.
Odling’s process begins with travel and observation; she photographs local textures, palettes and faces, then distills these elements into repeated motifs often children or adolescents rendered in bold, flat acrylic layers. The repetition is intentional: by multiplying a single figure across a facade she invites passers-by to reflect on identity, memory and the idea of home as something both personal and universal. Recent works such as Shift in Tennessee and Something Real in Portsmouth position her own children as models, turning maternal longing into public art that speaks of constant change and the anchor of family.
Whether painting a five-storey portrait in Tullahoma or a coastal welcome wall in Dún Laoghaire, Odling approaches each surface with warmth and openness, aiming to create moments of self-reflection amid urban chaos. Her palette glows with sunset oranges, lagoon blues and gentle skin tones, an embrace she hopes will encourage borderless minds and ongoing dialogue about our shared social and environmental future
