Geoffrey Carran

Geoffrey Carran is a contemporary painter and large-scale muralist best known for his vibrant, expressive
depictions of native Australian birdlife. His work blends detailed realism with painterly freedom, celebrating the
character and symbolism of birds in both urban and regional contexts. Carran’s murals have become landmarks
across the country, including his solo transformation of the Goroke Silo in Victoria, part of the Australian Silo Art Trail, which featured a striking trio of a kookaburra, galah and magpie.

He has been internationally recognised for his work, named among the world’s top 12 bird-focused muralists by
Art Utopia, and featured in key publications including Feather and Brush and Silo Art: The Big Picture. His
practice has also been profiled in a feature documentary for European broadcaster ARTE. With a Master of Fine
Arts from RMIT University, Carran brings a painter’s eye to every surface—whether it’s canvas, corrugated iron,
or architectural wall—creating works that merge narrative, scale and natural beauty.

He is currently based on Wadawurrung Country, on Victoria’s Surf Coast.
