Kettle Art proudly presents ‘Neon Cowboy’ featuring recent works by street artist Brandon Adams. Brandon Adams, a fifth generation Texan, grew up in Greenville Texas, a small town outside of Dallas.
Brandon works with different mediums including acrylic, spray paint, stain, water, and oils. Blending these various mediums to build up layers of complexity and rich textures is iconic of his style. He incorporates varieties of wood and defining elements to represent each character. Brandon’s art is not limited to just portraits, but extends into sculptures and murals as well.
Brandon graduated from the Art Institute of Dallas in 1997, and has worked as a creative director at several agencies and corporations. Throughout his career, his use of color has defined his art. He uses color to attract consumers and draw them in. Through color, Brandon brings the emotions of each subject to life:
“My paintings are not a parade of personal style and image. They are a showcase of passion, ambition, desire, and accomplishment. It fuels my drive to continue to grow, dream, and inspire. I want to do more than just paint- I want to share my soul.” -Brandon Adams
The opening reception for “Neon Cowboy” is Saturday, October 22nd, from 6:00 – 9:00pm.

Kettle Art proudly presents artist Brad Albright in his first ever solo show, ‘Albright, Albright, Albright’. The artist opening reception will be held on Saturday, July 23, 2022, 6:00 to 9pm.
Brad Albright is Dallas-based artist and freelance illustrator best known for his modern approach to old school 3D poster art with red/blue glasses. His drawn artwork celebrates a shared love of pop-culture, music and gaming while presenting them in novel ways that utilize interactivity, dimensionality, and nostalgia to blur the line between fine art and accessible fun.
His work is infused with a traditional printmaking background, but applied through a modern illustrators toolkit; producing detailed line art with ballpoint pen, digital tablet, and a range of software, printers, laser and die-cutters.
Both designed and presented with paper glasses, Brad’s 3D work seeks to engage and invite viewers into immersive scenes… accessible and familiar on the surface, but revealing deeper layers of story, detail, and intrigue upon closer inspection.
Brad was born in Orlando before settling in North Texas. He earned his BFA in Combined Media at Cornell’s College of Architecture, Art, & Planning and later attended Hartford Art School’s low-residency MFA in Illustration program while simultaneously working full-time in Dallas as a graphic designer, licensed merch designer, art teacher, and Etsy shop owner.
Clients include Live Nation, Dallas Stars, Dallas Mavericks, Texas Rangers, Dickies Arena, comedian Marc Maron, Stern Pinball, Texas Pinball Festival, KXT 91.7, and Austin City Limits Music Festival.
Kettle Art has been Brad’s self-described home base since circa 2011, and he is proud to return after a brief hiatus (ahem, pandemic) for his first solo show with ‘Albright, Albright, Albright,’ sharing recent work and greatest hits, from 3D poster art to dimensionally layered woodcut illustrations and local event posters.
This show runs through Sunday September 4, 2022. Kettle Art Gallery is located at 2650-B Main St. Dallas, TX. 75226.
