Jeanne Barnes
'Kimberley Whispers'
5 – 18 June
OPENING NIGHT 5 June 5 – 7pm
The land is never completely silent. If it isn’t birds, it’s cicadas, crickets, wind — movement layered over time. These works come from listening closely to the Kimberley. Not to loud declarations, but to what is carried in rhythm, weather and change.
Through abstraction, the paintings speak to presence as much as place — to the feeling of this ancient Country as it continues to express itself.
Jeanne’s practice begins in the landscape: becoming immersed, noticing the smallest details and patterns, absorbing every sound. Those lived experiences settle within her, then emerge again as flowing, emotional works — reflections of a land that is at once powerful, intricate and profoundly beautiful.
Ros Hamdorf
'Quiet Places'
19 June – 2 July
OPENING NIGHT 19 June 5 – 7pm
Driven by a lifelong interest in geology, Roslyn Hamdorf’s practice explores the bones of the Australian landscape. From her studio in Quindalup, Roslyn travels into the heart of the outback to capture the essence of ancient landforms, with a particular devotion to the raw textures and ethereal palette of the Kimberley.
Her work focuses on the intersection of age, erosion, and balance, translating the rugged permanence of rock formations into quiet, contemplative spaces.
Jules Bulleid

Leon Pericles
17 – 30 July
OPENING NIGHT 17 July 5 – 7pm
Australian painter and master printmaker Leon Pericles has held more than 160 solo exhibitions and won national and international acclaim over a career spanning more than 50 years.
The artist who spent his formative years in Meekatharra has been largely inspired by his love for the Australian outback and his imaginary town of Widji (Widjimorohup).Pericles’s witty views of Australia combined with his artistic talent have resulted in work which engages and challenges the viewer. Sometimes narrative, often whimsical and frequently absurd, his ruminations on society and our unique landscape have also made us more aware of the ideas that shape us as West Australians.

'Our Country Speaks'
31 July – 13 August
OPENING NIGHT 31 July 5 – 7pm
Symbols, Signs and Patterns
Across generations, Country carries memory, holding the footsteps of ancestors, the knowledge of seasons, and the stories carried through land, water, and skys. This multi-generational exhibition brings together artists whose works reflect a deep and continuous connection to Country, expressed through symbols, signs, and patterns that carry cultural meaning and lived experience.
Artists share knowledge through mark-making that is both inherited and evolving, where each line and form holds story, identity, and place. Cultural knowledge moves across generations with strength and care, guided by Elders and carried forward by younger voices, creating a collective expression grounded in respect, continuity, and belonging.
Through layered compositions and thoughtful designs, the works speak to the enduring presence of Country and the relationships that sustain it. Patterns unfold as visual language, mapping journeys, remembering histories, and affirming identity.
This exhibition offers a space to engage deeply, to reflect, and to feel the strength of culture carried across time. Here, Country is present, alive, and speaking through many generations in unity and strength.

Cecil Mosquito - Solo Exhibition
'Painted Earth'
11 September – 25 September
OPENING NIGHT 11 September 5 – 7pm
Warmun Art Centre, in partnership with Black Stump Gallery, proudly presents Cecil Mosquito, one of the most exciting and promising rising Gija artists, whose work carries the strength of Gija Country and the depth of cultural knowledge grounded in lived experience, expressing ancestral lands, old people’s stories, and enduring legacy.
His paintings emerge from a deep connection to place, to family, and to the legacy of his old people, shaped by memory, observation, and the living presence of stories embedded within the land. Through his work, Cecil expresses Country in all its richness, capturing the subtle shifts of season, the marks of cultural burning, and the intricate language of symbols and signs. Star formations, Dreamtime stories, and echoes of cave art move across his compositions, revealing a profound relationship between Skys, water, land, and ancestral knowledge.
