The Walter Art Gallery is pleased to present “Face and Form,” a solo show of works by David Amsellem from Scottsdale, AZ. Amsellem’s watercolors document the people he encounters in his daily life. His main interest is painting the human form in the traditional style of transparent watercolor.
David has been drawn to create on paper for as long as he can remember. He started with pencil on paper, then ink on paper and always with a special interest in human form. He continued with his drawings for many years until venturing off to explore figurative work in watercolor. He has now been creating with watercolor for over twenty years.
Because of his formal training and career as a physical therapist, Amsellem has expert knowledge of human physiology, and just as importantly, he is exposed to human challenges, human emotions, and human triumphs. His longtime observation of the human spirit and his love of art has provided Amsellem a valuable combination to convey the unique beauty of people in his figurative paintings.
Amsellem has devoted many hours to honing his artistic techniques in workshops, demonstrations, critiques and in collaboration with numerous highly experienced and notable watercolor artists. He has displayed his work and received awards in local, national and international shows and accomplished signature membership with local, state, regional, and international watercolor societies.
