Christopher O’Doherty (Reg Mombassa), one of Australia’s most culturally significant contemporary artists, is represented in major public and private collections nationwide and remains a defining figure in Australian art and music, with a career spanning decades and sustained cultural relevance. Works of this nature — original, exhibition-linked Mombassa landscapes — are tightly held and infrequently available on the secondary market.

‘Hill and Cloud’ (2025) reveals a quieter, more contemplative dimension of Reg Mombassa’s practice. Best known for his iconic graphic language and enduring influence on Australian visual culture, Mombassa’s original landscapes remain comparatively scarce and are increasingly sought after by collectors for their subtlety, restraint and painterly sensitivity. In this work, soft undulating forms and a restrained palette evoke a distinctly Australian rhythm — meditative, lyrical and deeply observed.

Executed in oil on paper and professionally framed, the piece offers an intimate scale that contrasts with the artist’s more widely recognised public-facing imagery, positioning it firmly within a body of work that appeals to established collectors.

Importantly, the work is accompanied by a signed Rogue Pop-Up Gallery exhibition catalogue, in which the painting is featured — providing strong provenance and documentation, and enhancing its long-term collectability.

A compelling opportunity to acquire a distinctive and investment-considered work by a nationally significant artist.
