David Shapiro (1944-2014)

David Shapiro (1944-2014) was born in Brooklyn, New York and earned his BFA at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, followed by his MFA at Indiana University. His paintings and prints, often simple in their compositions but complex in their details, evoke Buddhist and Hindu ideas of meditation, concentration, and energy. The titles of Shapiro’s pieces reflect his interest in these Eastern practices of spiritual contemplation.
