David Law

Photographer-Artist – Creator of contemporary images

Multidisciplinary photographer-artist, author and musician, David Law develops work centered on gaze, presence and the perception of image in the urban space. He first made a name for himself with a series devoted to storefront 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. After being drawn to 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 living presence, questioning our relationship to illusion and projection.

New series – Iconic Faces - Legends of pop culture

Process of creation.
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 attitude that made these personalities immediately 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 rereading of figures who have marked the history of show business and continue to influence our visual culture.
