David Row (born 1949) is an American abstract painter and printmaker known for his systematic exploration of color, structure, and perception. Emerging in the late 20th century, Row’s work bridges conceptual rigor with visual subtlety, often using grids, repeated forms, and carefully calibrated color relationships to investigate how viewers experience space and rhythm across a surface.

Row has been particularly interested in how variations in hue, saturation, and placement can produce movement and depth without relying on representational imagery. His practice reflects a sustained engagement with abstraction as a perceptual and analytical process rather than an expressive or narrative one.
