About the Artist
Dob: c.1973
Tribe: Kunwinjku
Area: Oenpelli, Western Arnhem Land
Outstation: Gummeringbang
As the son of a ceremonial leader Warrick learnt the traditional way of life, and is an excellent hunter and food gatherer. He has appeared in several documentaries depicting both his talent as an artist, a dancer, and a hunter in the old way, using four-pronged fishing spears and digging sticks for yams.
Warrick has achieved fame as a master painter on bark and on Arches Rives paper. He lives at a remote outstation called Gumarrirnbang, in the Stone Country between Oenpelli and Ramingining. This homeland centre is owned by his uncle, an old man called Timothy Nadjowh who was a great artist but is now too old to paint. He is worried that without sons to carry on recording the history and religion of his tribe the stories will be lost forever. He has therefore decided to gradually pass on his myths to Warrick, whom he considers to be a man of stature and worthy of keeping them safe.
