David Law

Photographer-Artist – Creator of contemporary imagery

Multidisciplinary photographer-artist, author and musician, David Law develops work centered on gaze, presence and the perception of the image in urban space. He first became known for a series dedicated to storefront 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

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 in which 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 reinterpretation of figures who have shaped 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.
