Perth-raised street artist Stormie Mills will present his first-ever solo exhibition at an Australian state gallery, titled *All the secrets are buried between the oceans and the mountains*, at the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) from August 1 to November 8, 2026. The show features works from his four-decade career, including two monumental 12-metre-long paintings inspired by the sea and mountains, exploring themes of connection, isolation, and human vulnerability.
The exhibition marks a significant milestone for Mills, who began as an underground graffiti artist and has since gained international recognition. It underscores AGWA's commitment to showcasing local talent and elevating street art to the institutional mainstream. The show also highlights Mills' deep ties to Perth, where he created a public mural on Wellington Street in 1994 as a defiant act against anti-graffiti laws, making this debut a symbolic homecoming.
