David Law - Face XIII

David Law

Photographer 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 dedicated to storefront 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 singular 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, raising questions about our relation to illusion and projection.

Series - Faces in Transition

This series offers a contemporary reinterpretation of the 1950s/1960s pin-up aesthetic through a modern visual approach. Each work is created using current digital tools, then reworked 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 legibility of the subject. Taken together, they strike a balance between classical elegance and contemporary visual energy, capturing moments of life that are both light and expressive.

Edition & Manufacture

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 an authenticity certificate. 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.

In parallel with his visual activity, he develops an authorial and musical career 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 band FRENZY.
