Geoff Gibbons is a South Australian artist, printmaker, and arts educator. He is a founder of Bittondi Printmakers Association and a lecturer at Adelaide Central School of Art.

Biography

Geoff Gibbons was born in 1947 in Adelaide, South Australia. He has a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in art history from Flinders University, a Bachelor of Education (Art teacher) from the University of South Australia, and a Master in Visual Arts from the University of South Australia (ref: thesis). He wrote his master’s thesis on English artist, Samuel Palmer. He has been influential in South Australian printmaking, both as a lecturer in printmaking and setting up printmaking studios, with some of his students establishing the informal Aldgate Print Group. He subsequently helped to establish the Bittondi Printmakers Association in 2008. Gibbons taught at TAFE SA and then Adelaide Central School of Art, which closed its printmaking studio upon its relocation to Glenside.

Artistic Style and Subject

Gibbons specialises in printmaking and is deeply interested in the history of printmaking, particularly within different cultural traditions. This has led to residencies in China and Italy.
