‘Portrait in the Square’ by Frazer Campbell is a pop-up exhibition presented in partnership between Brisbane City Council’s Outdoor Gallery and Fish Lane Arts Precinct. It will be on display from 5 August to 11 October 2026.
Frazer Campbell’s portraiture, installed in the vitrines at Fish Lane’s Town Square, offers a contemplative pause within one of Brisbane’s busiest urban corridors. The works draw out the layered depth of individual lives in a fast-paced city environment. These original artworks act as quiet anchors, reflecting personal histories and the universal human experience and inviting passersby to recognise fragments of their own stories in another’s gaze, gesture or posture.
Technically, Frazer's practice sits at the intersection of close observation and expressive mark-making, using layered surfaces and tonal nuance to suggest the complexity of identity.
Frazer Campbell is a Brisbane-based emerging artist known for his intense, emotionally charged portraits in oils and acrylics. Influenced by literature, film and music, his award-winning work explores identity and connection through colour, cinematic drama, and deep empathy, all shaped by his lived experience.
“I am intrigued by certain faces, especially expressions at the unhappier end of the emotional spectrum: existential angst, psychic dread.” — Frazer Campbell
Frazer Campbell is featured in Council’s latest Outdoor Gallery exhibition, AMPLIFY ME!, a celebration of Brisbane artists with lived experience of disability that showcases their work in accessible outdoor spaces across the city. Grounded in inclusive arts practice, the exhibition encourages collaboration and barrier-free creativity, supporting lasting connections, inclusion and social change across Brisbane’s cultural landscape.
AMPLIFY ME! is curated by Nicole Crosswell and runs from 21 November 2025 to 25 October 2026.
This program is part of Council’s Outdoor Gallery, which transforms Brisbane’s laneways, streets and car parks into imaginative spaces for everyone, showcasing art in light boxes, banners, vitrines and evening projections.
This program is delivered in partnership with Fish Lane Arts Precinct.
