△《Still Life with Grape Juice and Sandwiches (Xenia)》Artist: David Ligare (American, 1945-), oil on canvas, 20 x 24 in. (50.8 x 61 cm), 1994, Location: Gallery 25.
出生在伊利諾州奧克帕克(橡樹園) (Oak Park, Illinois) 的畫家大衛．里格烈 (David Ligare)，在洛杉磯的私立 Art Center College of Design 美術學院完成藝術教育，目前居住於中加州的薩利納斯 (Salinas, California)。
1978年以來，他一直專注於靜物、風景和人物的繪畫創作，風格頗受古希臘羅馬古典畫家的影響，但是畫作的背景則往往是中加州海岸的再現。光線的捕捉與細心刻畫，是他作品的焦點靈魂。他說：他只畫他之所見，是一種感性的解析。
" I think that I‘m very Californian in the character of the light that I use, but I made a decision very early on in my project to try to be an invisible presence in my work. Personal expression and having a personal style are very important to many artists but I‘ve been much more interested in how we see - what I call perceptual analysis - and the potential meanings of the objects that I‘ve depicted. " - David Ligare
