Printmaking
David Ligare is an American painter born in 1945 whose practice centers on classical still life and landscape traditions rendered with meticulous realism and restrained color. Working primarily in oil, he constructs compositions that emphasize formal geometry and the subtle modulation of light across carefully arranged objects and natural forms. His approach reflects a deliberate engagement with postwar figuration and the revival of classical subjects within contemporary practice.
