The next exhibition by potential icon Rex Backhaus-Smith is called An Artist’s Journey which, according to the 74 year-old Rex, is a review of his past 50 years as an artist. The exhibition of about 35 works starts off this month at the Graydon Gallery in Brisbane, then moves to Surat, Rex’s birthplace, the Stockman’s Hall of Fame in Longreach and Warwick. A coffee table book of the same name is available from Art on Cairncross and the Noosa Regional Gallery. Rex says he’s as busy as ever with no intention of hanging up his paintbrush. 
“Painting gets more exciting as the years go by”, adds Rex. What an icon!
