David Law - Face VI

David Law

Photographic 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 window mannequins, integrated into the city through a subtle play of reflections and overlaps. This exploration of gaze and presence gave birth to a fine art book published in 2021. Later 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.

Series - Faces in Transition

This series offers a contemporary reinterpretation of the 1950s/60s pin-up aesthetic through a modern visual approach. Each work is created using current digital tools, then reworked to incorporate a painterly texture inspired by oil painting. Elements of pop art and street art — drips, textures and collages — enrich the composition while preserving legibility of the subject. Taken together, they create a balance between classic elegance and contemporary visual energy, capturing moments of life that are both light and expressive.

Edition & Manufacturing

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 produced on aluminum with a built-in rear mounting. Printed on bright white vinyl, mounted between two aluminum plates, with soft UV- and humidity-resistant lamination, guaranteeing excellent durability, long-term color stability and a modern, contemporary look.

Career

Since 2014, David Law has participated in around twenty Contemporary Art fairs per year in France and Europe. He is also the resident photographer and videographer for several contemporary art fair organizers. In parallel with his visual activity, he develops a body of work as an author and musician, comprising 3 novels, a collection of short stories, a graphic novel, a photo book, and 5 self-produced CDs. A singer-guitarist, he currently performs with the band FRENZY.
