David A. Amdur Artist Talk

David A. Amdur is a painter based in St. Paul, Minnesota, whose work captures the energy of human interaction, nature, and everyday life. Whether painting people in parks, at play, or engaged in political action, his work hints at narrative through movement, gesture, and expression. Amdur’s paintings are rich with color and dynamic composition, guiding the viewer’s eye like a musical composition—through contrasts, harmonies, and the rhythm of shapes and space. Deeply influenced by his travels and years of teaching art at all levels, he brings both technical skill and emotional depth to his work. For Amdur, color is as immediate as scent, drawing the viewer into a world that is both familiar and deeply felt.
