David Row is an American painter and printmaker known for his rigorously structured, luminous abstractions. Working primarily with oil, Row builds complex surfaces through layers of pigment, often organizing his compositions into interlocking grids or bands that suggest both architectural order and perceptual instability. Subtle shifts in color and texture activate the surface, producing a sense of depth and movement within otherwise restrained geometries.

Row studied at Yale University and later at Hunter College, and has been a significant presence in contemporary abstraction since the 1980s. His work reflects an ongoing engagement with systems, structure, and the limits of visual perception, positioning him within a lineage that includes Minimalism and postwar geometric abstraction while maintaining a distinctly tactile, process-driven approach.

David Row has been the recipient of numerous honors, including the Scholar of the House in Painting at Yale and the National Endowment for the Arts Grant in Painting. In 2008 he received the Isaac N. Maynard Prize for Painting from the National Academy Museum, in New York. His works have been exhibited extensively in the US and abroad and his works can be found in numreous collections including The Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Carnegie Museum of Art, The Cleveland Museum of Art, The Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego, and the Oklahoma Museum of Art.

David Row was one of the first artists to make prints at Two Palms in 1994 and has been working with the studio ever since.
