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.

‘Ridgeline from Finke Two Mile’ captures the landscape of the West Macdonnell ranges. It has a sense of life and movement to it, the curvature of the mountains echoing clouds overhead. For collectors of Mombassa and landscapes, ‘Ridgeline from Finke Two Mile’ is a distinct find, a hike for the eyes.

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.
