David Mah Studio is the private gallery and workspace of Memphis artist David Mah. From the site-specific commissioned murals to representational paintings and drawings to his more recent abstract painted collages; the work of David Mah displays a wide variety of styles, color palettes and imagery.

David has spent over twenty years working on both commissioned murals and paintings, while developing his own works consisting of oils and acrylics on board, canvas and paper. Although the works are different in subject matter, there is a consistent painting style and thoughtful handling of materials. The scale, proportion and balance of each piece are carefully and painstakingly developed.

David has worked independently and in conjunction with various architects, interior designers and other artists, creating site-specific murals for both commercial and residential projects. Mural designs are based on a wide variety of styles and inspirations; Art deco, 18th Century Italy and France, Ancient Pompeii, Persian Minitures, Surrealism and American murals of the WPA. Murals have been placed in museums, hotel lobbies, restaurants, boutiques, community centers, hospitals and private homes.

David's more personal work, oils an acrylics on canvas, board and paper tend to be rather traditional in both subject matter and use of materials. The subjects; landscapes, figures and more recently abstract painted collages with an Asian influence tend to be atmospheric, moody and at times a bit nostalgic.
