**Introduction** "Metamorphosis" is a solo exhibition by Racine-based multidisciplinary artist Scott Terry, marking his first major showing at the H.F. Johnson Galleries. Complementing his visionary pieces are stone sculptures by veteran artist Brad Lee, whose five-decade career enriches the exploration of transformation, growth, and renewal.
**Scott Terry: Metamorphosis in Practice** Scott Terry’s work explores "Metamorphosis," reflecting his evolution as a human being, artist, father, activist, entreprenuer and the many other hats he wears in his life. Terry will introduce an entirely new body of work that seeks to capture cycles of change, resilience, and adaptation. Through layered textures, bold imagery and dynamic compositions, Terry celebrates transformation’s beauty and complexity.
**Supplemental Works by Brad Lee** Brad Lee’s stone sculptures complement Terry’s dynamic works with a sense of timelessness. Crafted from marble and limestone, these pieces symbolize transformation from raw material to refined form. Lee’s extensive career, spanning over 5 decades, highlights the enduring power of his artistic practice, grounding the exhibition in history and creativity.
**Special Programming**
The exhibition features an artist talk and Q&A with Scott Terry, offering insights into his creative journey. A short film chronicles his evolution as an artist, gallerist, and entrepreneur, celebrating Racine’s cultural influence on his work.
**Thematic Resonance and Impact** "Metamorphosis" invites audiences to reflect on personal and collective change. We all evolve and adapt in many ways throughout our lives, how do we as creatures of habit confirm or resist metamorphosis? The works of Scott Terry and Brad Lee's sculptures create a cohesive narrative of growth and interconnectedness. The H.F. Johnson Galleries’ lakefront setting enhances the exhibition’s natural and cultural inspirations.
"Metamorphosis" offers a profound exploration of transformation through Terry’s multidisciplinary works and Lee’s sculptures. Engaging programming and the dynamic interplay of their art promise an unforgettable experience.
