Warwick Keen is an artist and founding member of Gamilarart Gallery in Tamworth NSW, which opened in 2002. Gamilarart Gallery was initially formed to cater to local Indigneous visual artists but it now also plays host to non-Indigenous artists as well. His works of acrylics, foam core, PVA glue and sawdust are contemporary representations of Dendroglyphs which are carved tree designs of eastern NSW and some parts of Queensland.
Keen has had work shown in Drawing Together Art Award (celebrating 40 years since the 1967 Referendum), at the National Archives of Australia in Canberra, ACT in 2007; in the 2006/07 exhibition New England contemporaries III – My Place, My time, Myself at the New England Regional Art Museum, Armidale, NSW and in Regional Encounters at the Tamworth Regional Art Gallery, NSW in 2006.
Keen was also a finalist in the 2005, 2006 and 2007 Parliament of NSW Indigenous Art Prize.
