Completed graduate school at Musashino Art University.
I was fascinated by the material of iron from the beginning of the 80's activity,
I produce works by repeating fusing and welding.
Freed from the original sense of hardness and weight, the concept of sculpture = lump,
The space is transformed.
We observe the “field” deeply and take in what is there, whether it is visible or invisible,
Build your own world.
In recent years, works of different materials such as plaster and glass have also been announced.
Major awards include the Minister of Education New Artist Award, the Mainichi Arts Award, and the Nakahara Teijiro Award.
David Spriggs is currently based in Vancouver, BC. He was born in 1978 in Manchester, England, and immigrated to Canada in 1992. He received his Master of Fine Arts from Concordia University, Montreal. The artwork of David Spriggs lies in a space between the 2 and 3 dimensions. In his work he explores phenomena, space-time and movement, colour, visual systems and surveillance, the strategies and symbols of power, and the thresholds of form and perception. Spriggs is known internationally for his unique large-scale 3D ephemeral-like installations that use a technique he pioneered in 1999 layering transparent images.He has exhibited internationally at galleries and museums such as the Powerlong Museum in China, Chroniques Biennale in France, Messums Wiltshire in the UK, Arsenal Montreal in Canada, the Prague Biennial 5 in the Czech Republic, the Louis Vuitton Gallery Macau, and at the Sharjah Biennial 9 in the UAE. His work can be found in many prestigious collections such as in Hotel VIC Hong Kong, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the National Museum of Fine Arts of Quebec.
