Curvilinear or perpendicular, controlled or expressive; Fine Lines celebrates the ways in which artists explore this most fundamental element of mark-marking. The works selected for this exhibition use line to express movement and depth, volume and shadow - some utilise the natural shapes found in the environment and others draw upon the mathematics of geometry.

The concentric circles of Mervyn Williams’ Limelight shows how line can function as both method and subject matter whereas the dramatic vertical brushwork in Jeffrey Harris’ Acrobat of God is a visual expression of an emotional narrative.

John Edgar’s marble Cube and Neil Dawson’s Black Halos 9 reveal how lines can occupy space, and in a similar manner Peter Trevelyan’s pencil lead sculptures introduce the notion that a drawing may possess physical volume.
