Geoff Dyer (1947 – 2020) was a prominent figure in the contemporary art scene, renowned for his interpretations of the rugged beauty and natural assets of Tasmania that drew national attention. He dedicated his life to painting and capturing the essence of the Tasmanian landscape in all its forms and ambience. Over fifty years, he held countless solo exhibitions across the country and overseas in places such as Singapore, Guangdong, and New York. Geoff's work is featured in numerous collections, including the National Portrait Gallery, Artbank, University of Tasmania, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, and the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA). He was a finalist in the Archibald Prize, Wynne Prize, and Sulman Prize, and won the Archibald Prize in 2003 with a portrait of Richard Flanagan.
