The Landscapes of Reg Mombassa
Reg Mombassa
Hardie Grant Books

Reg Mombassa (Chris O’Doherty) is a poet, musician and artist with a lifetime love of the land. Mombassa is well-known for his hyper-coloured graphics, quirky creatures and surf label MAMBO, and unbeknown to some is also a painter of vibrant landscapes depicting life down under.

Mombassa leads the reader on a journey into the familiar, down the streets of suburbia lined with telegraph poles, atop the sails of the iconic Sydney Opera House and out to the rolling hills and sprawling flats on rural lands. With a display of over 200 works dating from 1968 to the present, accompanied by the artist’s texts, this book presents Mombassa’s sentiments for, and interpretations of, the vast landscapes of Australia and New Zealand.
