Artist bio

Frazer Campbell is a Brisbane-based emerging artist known for intense, emotionally charged portraits in oils and acrylics. Influenced by literature, film and music, his award-winning work explores identity and connection through bold colour, cinematic drama and deep empathy, all shaped by his lived experiences.

"I am intrigued by certain faces, especially expressions at the unhappier end of the emotional spectrum: existential angst, psychic dread.” - Frazer Campbell

The Long Neck Series, 2025, anchors Frazer Campbell’s exhibition in King George Square Carpark, combining bursts of colour and cinematic storytelling and paired with the dramatic portraits of Samuel Beckett, 2024 and Emily O’Grady WIP, 2024. The narrative depth of Campbell’s works is heightened by the carpark’s exposed concrete, utilitarian lighting and echoes of the city outside.

Endangered Species series (2025)

Artist bio

Duane Doyle is a Jiman (Yiman) artist from Rockhampton whose work draws on deep ancestral roots in South Carnarvon Gorge and the Garingbal people, with the Googoobing (scrub turkey) as his totem. Combining traditional and innovative techniques, his art explores identity, belonging and the enduring wisdom of Country as a living force.

My grounding support has always been my Art Gang at West End Community House, and mentor, Art Mum, Sue Loveday. I have been welcomed by other arts organisations as well. My art has evolved into something I am both overwhelmed by and deeply proud of–it is a great time to be an artist in Brisbane.

- Duane Doyle

Duane Doyle’s Endangered Species Series sits powerfully side by side in Irish Lane, transforming the space to foster broader public understanding of ecological systems. Through traditional and contemporary arts practice, and with First Nations knowledge and deep connection to Country, Doyle’s series highlights the importance of flooding in a healthy river system–essential for sustaining habitat and life.

Amplify Me! Amplify You!! (2025)

Artist bio

Exhibiting artists featured in this Outdoor Gallery exhibition Amplify Me! attended a co-design workshop at the Museum of Brisbane (MoB) to explore what amplifies them as individuals and deepen their understanding of one another. Using expanded listening and systems thinking–breaking big ideas into simple, revealing questions–they reflected, slowed down and gained fresh perspectives on themselves and each other. 

When the artists were asked, “What amplifies you?”, one participant wrote, “happy life.”

Amplify Me! Amplify You!!, 2025 is a powerful collaboration between the exhibiting artists and the public, designed to spotlight and celebrate the richness of individual expression. Presented in The Outdoor Gallery’s Vitrine, set amidst the city’s bustle, passersby are reminded to pause, reflect and act on what truly amplifies their lives, inviting everyone to connect and question: “What amplifies your world?”
