David Shapiro
During the summer of 2013, David Shapiro collaborated with the team at the Neiman Center to produce, Each Step is a Destination I and II, editions which combine etching with lithography and screenprint. As in his paintings, Shapiro draws inspiration from diverse textures and here incorporated handmade Japanese paper to serve that purpose. Shapiro's forms - spirals, waves and circles - are influenced by Eastern concepts and invite meditative contemplation through their repetition and undulating patterns.
Shapiro (b. 1944) received a BFA from Pratt Institute in 1966 and a MFA from Indiana University in 1968. He has exhibited in the United States and abroad and his work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York as well as the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, OH and the Kunsthalle der Stadt in Nuremberg, Germany.
