Description from the seller
New series – Iconic Faces - Legends of pop culture
David Law
Photographer Artist – Creator of contemporary images
Multidisciplinary photographic artist, author and musician, David Law develops work focused on gaze, presence and perception of the image in urban space. He first became known for a series devoted to storefront mannequins, integrated into the city through a subtle game of reflections and superpositions. This exploration of gaze and presence gave birth to an art book published in 2021. Later drawn to the singular aesthetic of collectible 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 presence, almost alive, questioning our relationship to illusion and projection.
New series – Iconic Faces - Legends of pop culture
Creation process.
Each work in this series results from visual research and artistic composition aiming to reinterpret the great icons of music and cinema. The artist begins by studying the distinctive features, expressions and attitude that made these personalities immediately recognizable in the collective imagination. He develops a graphic interpretation where certain details are deliberately emphasized to create a subtle, expressive and contemporary caricature. The characters are then placed in environments inspired by their artistic universe. At the crossroads of portraiture, illustration and Pop culture, this series offers a rereading of figures who have marked the history of show business and continue to influence our visual culture.
Edition & Fabrication
Each work is offered in a limited edition of 8 numbered copies + 4 artist's proofs (A.P.), signed by the artist and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The prints are made on aluminum with a built-in back mount. Printing on luminous white vinyl, mounted between two aluminum panels, with UV-resistant and humidity-resistant soft lamination, guaranteeing excellent durability, long-term color stability and a modern, contemporary rendering.
Career
Since 2014, David Law has participated in about twenty Contemporary Art fairs per year in France and Europe. He is also the designated photographer and videographer for several organizers of contemporary art fairs. Parallel to his visual activity, he develops an authorial and musician career including 3 novels, a collection of short stories, a comic book, a photo book and 5 self-produced CDs. A singer-guitarist, he currently performs with the group FRENZY.
