The exhibition entitled The Magical Display of Mind contains paintings and drawings that express the vivid, living quality of the natural world; as well as highlighting the innate connections and tensions that exist between human beings and the larger environment. Berry’s art combines imagery from nature (animals, plants and the human figure) with imagery from Tibetan Buddhist paintings known as “thangkas”. The works in this show explore the pure physical act of sight and the visionary quality of going beyond the sense perceptions into the realm of imagination and visualization.
