Reg Mombassa (a.k.a Chris O Doherty) has been a musician, clothing designer for Mambo and artist. His work is instantly recognisable, characterised by a fusion of the mundane – even suburban – and surreal, producing whimsical images that can pack a progressive punch.

‘Hedge and flax’ is an original drawing of a garden. Mombassa captures the landscape’s textures – the soft haze of tree foliage, spiky succulents and thatching shrubbery. For collectors of the artist, landscapes and green thumbs, ‘Hedge and flax’ is ripe for the harvest.

An Antipodean icon, Mombassa is one of Australia’s most collected, celebrated and recognised contemporary artists. From playing with Mental As Anything to being collected by Patrick White, Elton John and the National Gallery of Australia, Mombassa continues to feature in the collective imagination, living on walls, album covers and t-shirts across Australia.
