David Law

Photographer Artist – Creator of contemporary images

Multidisciplinary photographer artist, author and musician, David Law develops work focused on gaze, presence and the perception of the image in urban space. He first made a name for himself with a series devoted to shop 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 intrigued by the singular aesthetics of collectible dolls and Japanese figurines, 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 lifelike presence, questioning our relationship to illusion and projection.

New series – Iconic Faces - Legends of pop culture

Creative 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 features, expressions and attitude that made these personalities instantly recognizable in the collective imagination. He develops a graphical interpretation where certain details are deliberately accentuated to create a subtle, expressive and contemporary caricature. The characters are then placed in environments inspired by their artistic universe. At the crossroads of portrait, illustration and pop culture, this series offers a re-reading of figures who have marked the history of show business and continue to influence our visual culture.

Edition & Production

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 produced on aluminum with a rear mounting integrated. Printing on luminous white vinyl, mounted between two aluminum plates, with soft UV- and moisture-resistant laminate, guaranteeing excellent durability, long-term color stability and a modern, contemporary look.
