As well\, the impact of major life milestones such as marriage and parenthood lend to the underlying humour and honesty of the exhibition. \nArt\, Life\, Love\, Death\, Immortality\, and a Respectable Haircut… investigates notions of morality through the metaphor of movement\, both in travel and through life. Employing a creative process that shifts between chaos and order\, a process itself that mirrors life and death; a balancing act between the desire to cram as much into life and art as possible\, and the inevitable editing that results in measuring what is actually possible. The exhibition presents a colourful and exciting collection of collages\, constructions and paintings.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Artist’s Bio” tab_id=”1451285630325-09def419-bb74b1db-6de1439b-e153″][vc_column_text]With numerous solo and group exhibitions\, as well as being selected as a finalist in many high-profile awards\, Rehgan De Mather has quickly established himself as an artist to watch. \nSince completing his BVA at Monash University Gippsland in 2001\, De Mather has held 24 solo exhibitions and been involved in over 30 group exhibitions throughout Australia. \nHe has been selected three times as a finalist in the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship\, Agendo Art Award\, and Arc Yinnar Drawing Prize; twice in the Sunshine Coast Art Prize\, Black Swan Prize for Portraiture\, Mount Eyre Art Prize\, Prometheus Visual Arts Award\, Lethbridge 10\,000 Small Scale Art Award\, and John Leslie Art Prize\, as well as being a finalist in the Araluen Art Prize\, City of Whyalla Art Prize\, Stanthorpe Arts Festival\, Cambridge Studio Gallery Portrait Prize\, Clayton Utz Art Award and the 6th P.A.F International Drawing Biennale. \nHe was a semi-finalist in the arts category of the Young Australian of the Year Awards\, and a recipient of a Regional Arts Development Grant through Arts Victoria.
