Imbued with his own passion and personal vision, Dyer's Tasmanian landscapes take their place amongst the greatest of Australian visual records.

Geoff Dyer was one of Australia’s most respected and collected contemporary landscape artists. He has spent most of his career painting the Australian bush, particularly the sublime wilderness of Tasmania and the islands in Bass Strait. His seascapes from this notoriously rugged stretch of water have also been the subject of recent works.

Dyer created works that merge 19th century romantic landscape traditions by the likes of the great British master,Turner, with a more contemporary vision that owes much to Australian Modernists such as Fred Williams.

Dyer's celebrated career spanned more than fifty years, with countless solo exhibitions nationally, as well as exhibitions in Singapore, Guangdong and New York.  His work is held broadly throughout Australian institutions including, the National Portrait Gallery, Artbank, the University of Tasmania, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery and the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA). He has been a finalist over twenty times in the Archibald Prize, the Wynne Prize and Sulman Prize.  Most notably, Dyer won the Archibald Prize in 2003, with a portrait of author, conservationist and friend, Richard Flanagan.
