For Lines, the exhibition is a celebration and record of England today featuring landscapes, marine and urban scenes across the UK. John Lines has a distinctive, strong and individualistic style. Low in palette colour Lines chooses scenes and situations reminiscent of L S Lowry. His paintings evoke similar emotions � childhood memories, humour, industrial decline, romance, and nostalgia.

Brad Everett Kirkman: The Messenger
Michael Corbin
Kentucky born and bred artist Brad Everett Kirkman is what some people might call an "outsider artist." He isn't trained, but some might say he's anointed. Looking at his work, you can clearly see that he's not only driven by art, but also a message. He works full-time for a precision manufacturing company, but art is his true calling and message. Incidentally, we had this chat long ago and begin by talking about his old website which has since changed to www.brevki.com and www.BradEverettKirkman.blogspot.com However, his message remains the same. MICHAEL: Hey Brad. First of all, your website is called, mainrinse.com. Why do you have a website and where did the name come from? BRAD: I felt I needed a space of my own that I could have complete control. No ads to distract and no restrictions etc. Main Rinse is an anagram of "I'm a sinner." I named it this so I would always be reminded that I am no better than anybody else on this planet. I will always be in need of a Savior that can fill the hole in me that nothing or no one else can fill. MICHAEL: Do you draw (no pun intended, sorry) any connection between your art and "Main Rinse"? BRAD: I really can't separate the two. I think of the website as an extension of the art. I can say and do more there to expand on the message I'm trying to relay with my art.
