COST: Terry Bradley On The Unseen Toll Of Life

COST: Terry Bradley On The Unseen Toll Of Life

Terry Bradley’s COST explores the unseen toll of life—the mental, emotional, and physical struggles we all carry. The exhibition examines survival, creation, endurance, and the small flicker of light that refuses to be extinguished.

At the heart of the show is Bradley’s painting COST, a deeply personal work that reflects the price of moving forward—what is spent in energy, hope, time, or peace of mind. It is not about defeat but about acceptance, the quiet strength it takes to endure life’s pressures.

Known for capturing the tension between strength and fragility, Bradley turns the lens on his own journey, revealing the costs of a life devoted to creativity and self-expression.

The collection brings together bold, original paintings—many shown for the first time—including Doubt and Waiting, each accompanied by Bradley’s reflections. Terry invites viewers to confront their own experiences of struggle, resilience, and hope.
