Description from the seller
New series – Lost souls
David Law
Photographer Artist – Creator of contemporary imagery
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 window 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. Subsequently 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, questioning our relationship to illusion and projection.
New series – Lost Souls
With this series, David Law dives into streamlined and dark universes, inhabited by phantom silhouettes suspended. These indistinct, almost erased presences drift in strange landscapes where emptiness becomes matter. Through a visual writing built with contemporary graphic tools, the artist explores the notions of isolation, trace and memory. A silent traversal, at the borders of the visible and the invisible.
Edition & Production
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 made on aluminum with a built-in back mount. Printing on bright white vinyl, mounted between two aluminum plates, with soft UV- and humidity-resistant laminate, guaranteeing excellent durability, great long-term stability of colors and a modern, contemporary look.
Profile
Since 2014, David Law participates in around twenty Contemporary Art fairs per year in France and Europe. He is also the official photographer and videographer for several organizers of contemporary art fairs. Alongside his visual work, he develops authorial work and music including 3 novels, a collection of short stories, a graphic novel, a photo book and 5 self-produced CDs. Singer-guitarist, he currently performs with the group FRENZY.
