Spacejunk hosts Reg Mombassa
Like his art and unsurprisingly for an Antipodean, Reg Mombassa pulls no punches.
The art-loving French dudes at Spacejunk are championing his artwork over these coming months, giving further notice of their high appreciation of boardsports and art. Mombassa is most well-known for his association with Mambo and one of the men behind it, Dare Jennings.
‘Human idiocy, greed, evil and violence. I’m obsessed with that, probably because I fear it. I fear it in myself, because I’m an idiot, too.’ - Reg Mombassa
His art is a darkly-comic take on the mainstream, and instantly recognisable due to the bold representation of popular Aussie culture. He produces a number of t-shirt and poster designs a year for Mambo, most recently one protesting against a plan to build a nuclear reactor which caused a stir down under.
His work is now on at the various Spacejunk board culture centres:
Grenoble: May 22nd - June 21st
Bayonne: June 26nd - July 26th
Bourg Saint Maurice: July 31st - August 30th
