Il travaillait à Paris et à New York. David Azuz est un peintre figuratif qui déploie sa créativité à travers un style rich
e, coloré et vigoureux. Ses œuvres sont audacieuses et pleines de curiosité pour les détails de la vie quotidienne. Ses personnages, campés dans les bistrots et marchés de Rome, Paris ou Tel-Aviv expriment la solitude de l’individu en quête d’identité, saisi dans son universalité et imprégné d’énergie, de langueur et de pathos. David Azuz travaille la nuit dans les cafés parisiens en quête de ces attitudes caractéristiques des gens fréquentant les bistrots, croquant les jeunes couples amoureux ou les vieilles femmes esseulées sirotant un verre d’alcool. L’artiste parvient à nous transmettre, avec son tempérament vif et passionné, les gestes simples et quotidiens de l’existence.
