Daniel Berlin, Tharpa Dawa, Jinpa Ser~o, and Garlic Woods have been friends for more than 40 years, sharing mutual interests and inspiring each other through their own particular journeys. This exhibit brings the group together for a unique look into their aligned pursuits.

Daniel Berlin's primary ongoing artistic concern is to work directly with minimal conceptual underpinnings or sidetracks such as irony or satire. He is often driven to imply a "center"—an inner quality felt in the work. He generally seeks a complex simplicity with no final definitions that can ensnare and to operate with a kind of "relaxed urgency"—an almost carefree approach but with an intuitive discernment at work. With an aspiration to be playful, disciplined and inscrutable while acknowledging the fragile nature of reality—that is the buoyant groundlessness at play. Berlin​ received double B.S. degrees in both Painting and Psychology from Illinois State University and an MFA degree in Fine Arts (Painting) from the University of Colorado. He is primarily a painter as well as an avid practitioner of monotyping. Berlin received a NYFA fellowship in sculpture in 1988.
