David Baumann is a American painter born in Dubuque, Iowa, 1986.

Baumann currently lives and works in La Crosse, Wisconsin. He paints ambitious abstract acrylic paintings with vivid colors and compelling forms, using translucent and running paint, giving an effect alternatingly organic and architectural. He is influenced by the beauty and possibility of the forms that liquids take as they encounter surfaces and how light is affected by passage through layers of translucent and transparent media. In a world dominated by easily understood and digested images, Baumann presents visually beautiful and mysterious pictures that stimulate extended attention and contemplation.
