David Law - Face XI

David Law

Multidisciplinary photographer artist – Creator of contemporary images

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 devoted to 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. Intrigued by the distinctive aesthetics of collectible dolls and Japanese figurines, he continues 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 relation to illusion and projection.

Series - Faces in Transition

This series offers a contemporary reinterpretation of the pin-up aesthetic of the 1950s/60s through a modern visual approach. Each work is created using current digital tools, then further processed to integrate a painterly material inspired by oil painting. Elements of pop art and street art — drips, textures and collages — enrich the composition while preserving the subject’s legibility. The whole creates a balance between classical elegance and contemporary visual energy, capturing moments of life that are both light and expressive.

Edition & Production

Each work is offered in a limited edition of 8 numbered copies plus 4 artist’s proofs (A.P.), signed by the artist and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The prints are produced on aluminum with an integrated rear mounting. Printed on luminous white vinyl, mounted between two aluminum plates, with soft UV- and humidity-resistant lamination, ensuring excellent durability, long-term resilience, color stability and a modern, contemporary look.

Alongside his visual activity, he develops authorial and musician work including 3 novels, a collection of short stories, a graphic novel, a photo book and 5 self-produced CDs.
