Description from the seller
New series – Iconic Faces - Legends of pop culture
David Law
Photographic Artist – Creator of contemporary images
Multidisciplinary photographic artist, author and musician, David Law develops work centered on gaze, presence and perception of the image in urban space. He first became known for a series dedicated to storefront mannequins, integrated into the city through a subtle play of reflections and superpositions. This exploration of gaze and presence gave birth to an art book published in 2021. Later intrigued by the singular aesthetics of collector’s dolls and Japanese figurines, he continues this reflection by staging them in the streets of Paris and other European capitals. Through framing, light and composition, these inanimate models acquire a troubling, almost living presence, questioning our relationship to illusion and projection.
New series – Iconic Faces - Legends of pop culture
Creation process.
Each work in this series results from a visual research and artistic composition process aimed at reinterpreting the great icons of music and Cinema. The artist begins by studying the distinctive traits, expressions and attitude that made these personalities immediately recognizable in the collective imagination. He develops a graphic interpretation where certain details are deliberately amplified to create a subtle, expressive and contemporary caricature. The characters are then placed in environments inspired by their artistic universe. At the intersection of portrait, illustration and pop culture, this series offers a reinterpretation of figures who have marked the history of show business and continue to influence our visual culture.
Edition & Manufacturing
Each work is offered in a limited edition of 8 numbered pieces + 4 artist proofs (A.P.), signed by the artist and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The prints are made on aluminum with an integrated back mounting. Printed on luminous white vinyl, mounted between two aluminum plates, with soft UV- and humidity-resistant lamination, guaranteeing excellent durability, great long-term stability of colors, and a modern, contemporary look.
Career
Since 2014, David Law has participated in about twenty Contemporary Art fairs per year in France and Europe. He is also a dedicated photographer and videographer for several organizers of contemporary art fairs. Parallel to his visual activity, he develops a literary and musical body of work including 3 novels, a collection of short stories, a graphic novel, a photo book and 5 self-produced CDs. A singer-guitarist, he currently performs with the group FRENZY.
