Cecil Mosquito EXHIBITION

EXHIBITION runs 11 – 25 September 2026
at Black Stump Gallery Broome

Collection available to preview & purchase Friday 11 September 10am

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.

A quiet authority moves through his work, where colour, movement, and form come together with clarity and purpose. Within, Cecil reveals with courage the essence of his personal story and identity, grounded in family and carried through the continuity of Gija cultural knowledge.

His visual language continues to grow with confidence, guided by strong cultural foundations and shaped through lived experience on Country. Each painting holds careful attention and layered meaning, carrying knowledge forward with respect while speaking with presence and strength.

This body of work offers a deeply resonant expression of Gija Country, grounded in connection to place, family, and legacy, and stands as a powerful and compelling voice in contemporary Aboriginal art.
