David Law - Face XIV

David Law

Artist Photographer – 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 became known for a series dedicated to storefront mannequins, integrated into the city through a subtle play of reflections and superpositions. This exploration of gaze and presence gave rise to an art book published in 2021. Intrigued 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 troubling, almost living presence, challenging our relationship to illusion and projection.

Series - Faces in Transition

This series offers a contemporary reinterpretation of the pin‑up aesthetics of the 50s/60s through a modern visual approach. Each work is created with current digital tools, then reworked to integrate a pictorial 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 & Fabrication

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 integrated rear mounting. Printing on bright white vinyl, laminated between two aluminum plates, with UV- and humidity-resistant soft lamination, ensuring excellent durability, long-term color stability, and a modern, contemporary rendering.

Parcours

Since 2014, David Law has participated in around twenty Contemporary Art fairs per year in France and Europe. He is also the appointed photographer and videographer for several organizers of contemporary art fairs. Alongside his visual work, he develops a writer-artist and musician career including 3 novels, a collection of short stories, a graphic novel, a photo book and 5 self-produced CDs. A singer-guitarist, he is currently performing with the group FRENZY.
