David Callahan

About David
David Callahan is a painter who will work continually from painting to painting, expressing a new story each time. David's subject matter is inspired by the intensity of his dreams and vibrant imagination. Within each of his works figures, faces, homes, trees, and other living objects are hidden and/or revealed. David's art medium consists of painting with watercolors, acrylics and drawing with chalk pastels using techniques developed during childhood. One of the most common connections among his works is the vibrant color palette and the unique use of space within his compositions. These qualities in Callahan's work suggest a style similar to the more abstract Fauvist and German Expressionist painters of the early Twentieth Century. However, this work is in a class of its own, lighthearted and playful, a fanciful expression of an unseen world created by Callahan's brilliant imagination.David's work has been shown in and around Cincinnati at various venues including the Cincinnati Art Museum and A.R.T. Gallery.
