Saison: Color and Light is a collection of recent work inspired by land- and cityscapes and informed by the Jewish mystical tradition. In this collection, Wolfe focuses on light: the way that light permeates, shapes, and suffuses our world, and how our practices in that world are in turn permeated, shaped and suffused with light. Color and light, in this collection, become the very materials that bind human traditions and rituals to the natural world in an elusive, profound, and unfolding relationship.
Born in 1973 in New York City, Daniel Wolfe lives and works in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Motivated by an early exposure to the symbolism of Klee and the overpowering color and scale of Rothko, he attended the High School of Music and Art in Manhattan and later State University of New York, from which he graduated in 1995 with a major in Studio Art. In 1993, while studying abroad in Jerusalem, Wolfe began a spiritual quest to discover ancient Jewish teachings. Since this time he has been merging decorative and abstract expressionist styles with mystical themes.
