Geoffrey Ian Wilson.

Based on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Geoffrey Ian Wilson is an abstract expressionist painter. He creates bold, large-scale artworks capturing the kinetic energy of his subjects — painting in mixed media, primarily acrylics. His artwork explores a spirit world where creatures reveal their unique experiences through an organic process, their moments imagined on the canvas in often vibrant colours and textures.

Geoffrey's practice draws on 30 years of hand drawing and concept design. An architect, musician, and singer-songwriter by background, he brings a multi-disciplinary perspective to his art — drawing from songs, lyrics, music, and a love of old record art. Born in Tasmania in the 1960s, his pathway to painting has been shaped by a lifelong search for identity and his birth family — themes that run as a central thread through his work. He spent his formative years in California at one of the first Rudolph Steiner Schools in the 1970s, where he was taught to trace the stars and find souls in a Native American dreamtime. His art reflects on how cultures across the world search for meaning through their own dreamtime — painting lost and found souls, and opening the doors of perception through abstraction.
