Abyss by Rehgan De Mather

Abyss is a testament to transformation—a work that has lived many lives before arriving in its current form. Originally created in 2008 as a stripped-back, minimal composition incorporating painting and printmaking techniques, it was focused on texture and impact. But this was only the beginning of its journey.

In 2014, the canvas was removed from its stretcher and placed on the studio floor, absorbing marks left behind from other works. Over time, sections were sliced, sampled, and collaged onto new constructions, embodying the artist’s ongoing exploration of destruction as a form of creation. Through its dissection, the work evolved, demanding reassessment and ultimately finding resurrection on a fresh canvas.

Seven years later, it returned to the studio one final time, taking on new forms, composition, and meaning. Though now visually unrecognisable from its past, it carries the essence of its journey—a reflection of change, reinvention, and the unknown.

Often, what lies on the other side of the abyss is uncertain, but that isn’t always a bad thing.
