David Law - Face IV

David Law

Multidisciplinary photographer artist – Creator of contemporary images

Multidisciplinary photographer artist, author and musician, David Law develops work centered on gaze, presence and perception of the image in urban space. He first became known for a series about shop 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. Later he was drawn to the singular aesthetics of collectible dolls and Japanese figurines, extending 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, challenging 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 produced using current digital tools, then reworked to incorporate a painterly material inspired by oil painting. Elements of pop art and street art — splashes, textures and collages — enrich the composition while preserving the legibility of the subject. The whole creates a balance between classic elegance and contemporary visual energy, capturing moments of life that are at once light and expressive.

Edition & Fabrication

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. The prints are made on aluminum with an integrated back mounting. Printing on luminous white vinyl, mounted between two aluminum plates, with UV- and humidity-resistant soft laminate, guaranteeing excellent durability, long-term color stability, and a modern, contemporary rendering.

Since 2014, David Law participates in about twenty Contemporary Art fairs per year in France and Europe. He is also the photographer and videographer for several organizers of contemporary art fairs. Alongside his visual work, he develops a body of work as author and musician including 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 group FRENZY.
