Geoff Dyer is regarded as one of contemporary Australian
painting's most inspired landscape artists. After graduating
from art school in the late 1960s, he worked as an art educator
then rapidly established a vibrant painting career.
A multiple finalist in the prestigious Wynne and Archibald prizes
(he won the Archibald in 2003), Dyer has consistently presented
outstanding bodies of work drawn from the Tasmanian
landscape.
Markedly, the environment has been a significant influence on
Dyer's career, from the life source of his Derwent River series to
his iconic imagery of regenerative bushfire, to the sea and river
scapes of Coast to Coast. Producing not just arresting
imagery and captivating landscape, each canvas is invested with
immediacy, familiarity and inquiry. In short, he gives to us
a unique and personal vision of his home, which is the source of
his inspiration.
Dyer is represented in many major collections, both in Australia
and overseas.
