Exhibitions

Limited Edition Collections by Raymond Mather

ART1 Exhibitions present curated bodies of photographic work by Raymond Mather, each emerging from a distinct period of observation, place, and visual inquiry within Raymond Mather’s evolving photographic practice.

Rather than individual images, these exhibitions reflect photography as an evolving practice, where atmosphere, narrative, and perception unfold across series developed over time. Each exhibition offers a different entry point into the work, from quiet landscape observation to conceptual and narrative exploration, inviting viewers to experience photography as a sustained visual journey.

Selected exhibitions form the foundation of the ART1 collections, with individual works available throughout the catalogue.
