SUMMARY:Walker Art Gallery: Walker Art Gallery: Metamorphosis: Johnny Vegas
  and Emma Rodgers at the Walker
DESCRIPTION:Metamorphosis: Johnny Vegas and Emma Rodgers at the Walker\n30 
 Apr 2024—31 Mar 2025\nComedian Johnny Vegas rediscovers his artistic tal
 ent in this new collaboration with internationally recognised sculptor Emm
 a Rodgers.\nActor and comedian Johnny Vegas has a degree in Art and Cerami
 cs. Three decades after he graduated\, he returned to the studio after a c
 hance meeting with local sculptor Emma Rodgers. They have made new work wi
 th bronze\, clay and 3D printing\, shown alongside the historic objects th
 at inspired them.\n\nTheir display explores the idea of metamorphosis\, me
 aning a mental or physical transformation. A common theme is transformatio
 n through flight. In Emma’s work\, tragic mythical figure Icarus is tran
 sformed through the wings his father made for him. Johnny shows a fragile 
 female figure breaking free from her fears through flight.\n\nEmma Rodgers
  is known world-wide for sculptures that capture the essence of the subjec
 t. Among her public commissions in Liverpool\, she made the statue of Cill
 a Black in Matthew Street and created the world’s largest Liver Bird.\n\
 nAfter training in ceramics\, St Helens based Johnny Vegas found that “l
 ife got in the way” and art became “an unfinished part of my story”.
  He recently rediscovered his artistic talent\, saying that flight\, faith
  and fear of failure are subjects currently most fluent in his work.
