Property from the Collection of Aviva and Leonard Sorkin, Chicago, Illinois David Shapiro was born in 1944 in Brooklyn, New York. According to the author Mason Riddle, his works "comprise a highly personal language of signs and symbols. Circles, spirals, dots, wave and knot patterns, stylized flames and textures resonate on richly hued, tactile surfaces of Nepalese and Japanese papers, burlap, nylon screening, and canvas evoking a subtle mood of contemplation. Suggesting constellations of heavenly bodies, or human thoughts, these works appear to visually and psychologically, if not mythically, intersect, overlap, and merge with one another." Shapiro's work is included in many public and private collections including The Museum of Modern Art, the Solomon Guggenheim Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Kunsthalle der Stadt in Nuremberg, Germany.
