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 the perception of the image in urban spaces. He first became known for a series devoted to storefront models, 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, drawn to the singular aesthetics of collectible dolls and Japanese figurines, he extends this reflection by staging them on the streets of Paris and other European capitals. Through framing, light and composition, these inanimate figures acquire a troubling, almost living presence, challenging our relationship to illusion and projection.

New Series – Iconic Faces - Legends of Pop Culture

Creation Process
Each work in this series is the result of visual research and artistic composition aimed at reinterpret­ing the great icons of music and cinema. The artist begins by studying the distinctive traits, expressions and attitudes that made these personalities instantly recognizable in the collective imagination. He develops a graphic interpretation where certain details are deliberately accentuated to create a subtle, expressive, contemporary caricature. The characters are then placed in environments inspired by their artistic worlds. At the crossroads of portrait, illustration and pop culture, this series offers a re-reading of figures who have shaped 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 plus 4 Artist Proofs (A.P.), signed by the artist and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The prints are produced on aluminum with a backing mount. Printed on bright white vinyl, mounted between two aluminum plates, with soft UV- and humidity-resistant lamination, guaranteeing excellent durability, long-term color stability, and a modern, contemporary look.
