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 the 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 superimpositions. This exploration of gaze and presence gave birth to an art book published in 2021. Prompted by the singular aesthetics 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, almost life-like presence, questioning 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 features, expressions and attitude that have made these personalities instantly recognizable in the collective imagination. He develops a graphic interpretation where certain details are deliberately accentuated in order 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 reinterpretation 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 proofs (A.P.), signed by the artist and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The prints are made on aluminum with a mounted back, printed on luminous white vinyl, face-mounted between two aluminum panels, with soft UV- and humidity-resistant lamination, ensuring excellent durability, long-term color stability and a modern, contemporary rendering — Prints available in 40x40 / 60x60 on request.
