Robert Boyer RCA (July 20, 1948 – August 30, 2004) was a Canadian visual artist and university professor of aboriginal heritage.
Boyer is well known for his large-scale geometric paintings on felt blankets that he produced primarily in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The geometric designs on the blanket paintings come from the tradition motifs of Siouan and Cree groups in Western Canada.
Paintings bear unique and enigmatic titles that came to Boyer at poignant moments such as after sweat lodge ceremonies.
A large mural forms part of the display of the winter camp in the "Seasonal Round" section of the Gallery.
