David Law

Photographer Artist – Creator of contemporary images

Multidisciplinary photographic artist, author and musician, David Law develops a body of work centered on gaze, presence and the perception of image in 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 superpositions. This exploration of gaze and presence gave birth to an art book published in 2021. Later prompted 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 disturbing, almost living presence, questioning our relationship to illusion and projection.

New series – Lost Souls

With this series, David Law dives into pared-down and dark universes, inhabited by phantom silhouettes suspended. These indistinct, almost erased presences wander through strange landscapes where emptiness becomes matter. Through a visual writing built with the help of contemporary graphic tools, the artist explores the notion of isolation, trace and memory. A silent journey, at the borders of the visible and the invisible.
