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.

David Law Artist Photographer – Creator of contemporary images Multidisciplinary photographer and author, and musician, David Law develops a body of work centered on the gaze, presence, and perception of the image in urban space. He first made a name for himself with a series devoted to window 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, he was struck by the singular aesthetic of collectible dolls and Japanese figurines, and he extends 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 – Contemporary Photomosaics Since 2022, David Law has been developing a new corpus of works based on artistic photomosaic and contemporary digital composition. Each creation is built from a multitude of microvisual fragments generated using current graphic tools, then selected, structured, and meticulously recomposed by the artist. From a distance, the image appears immediately legible, strong, and assertive. Up close, it reveals a dense architecture made up of thousands of elements subtly interwoven. This work relies on precise artistic direction, a methodical and rigorous construction, a balance sought between fragmentation and unity, and a constant demand for visual quality and decorative impact. Through this series, David Law questions the fabrication of contemporary imagery and how a multitude of fragments can give rise to a coherent and singular work. Edition & Production Each work is offered in a limited edition of 8 numbered copies + 4 artist proofs (A.P.), signed by the artist and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The prints are made on aluminum with a built-in rear hanger. Printing on bright white vinyl, mounted between two aluminum plates, with flexible anti-UV and anti-humidity lamination, guaranteeing excellent durability, long-term stability of colors, and a modern and contemporary appearance. Artist Background Since 2014, David Law participates in about twenty Contemporary Art fairs per year in France and Europe. He is also the official photographer and videographer for several organizers of contemporary art fairs. Alongside his visual work, he develops an authorial and musical career, including 3 novels, a collection of short stories, a graphic novel, a photo book, and 5 self-produced CDs.
