About Brian Campbell

Born in Christchurch in 1953, Brian Campbell is a Gisborne-based artist who studied at Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland in 1979–80. By 1986, he had committed to life as a professional artist.

A printmaker specialising in woodcuts, Brian uses the bold, tactile qualities of the medium to explore and critique the world around him. His work ranges from sharp-witted views of the upheaval of 1980s capitalism to dreamlike coastal scenes, where familiar landscapes are reshaped by unexpected details and quiet symbols. Direct and incisive without being preachy, his prints speak to a broad audience while retaining depth.
