8 Works You Might Have Missed at the Brisbane Affordable Art Fair
Missed the Brisbane Affordable Art Fair or just need a second look after the whirlwind of busy aisles and constantly changing walls? We’ve rounded up a few standout pieces (though not all of them) that deserve another moment in the spotlight.

Darren King: Chaos, Colour & Collage
Bold, bright, and brilliantly chaotic — Darren King builds worlds from scraps of pop culture, memory, and colour. Every layer tells a story, every piece pulls you in.
Catch his vibrant, high-energy works at this year’s Brisbane Affordable Art Fair — his first with Aspire!

Ronelle Reid: Breaking the Rules of Nature
Ronelle Reid’s art is vibrant, layered, and thought-provoking — where wildlife meets the unexpected. From quirky creatures to bold symbolism, her works explore extinction, displacement, and the strange ways we interact with nature.
At this year’s Brisbane Affordable Art Fair, she’s bringing a full menagerie that’s equal parts playful and powerful.

Clare Tosoni: The Original Brewery Queen
At Aspire, we love that moment when we see something (or someone) special brewing (pun intended)! That’s how we like to work: on the pulse, at the fringe, always one step ahead.
Clare Tosoni is one of those artists!
