David Law (1967) - Georges Mickael (Stencil)

Photographer-Artist – Creator of contemporary imagery

A multidisciplinary photographer-artist, author and musician, David Law develops work focused on gaze, presence, and the perception of images in urban spaces. He first became known for a series devoted to shop window mannequins, integrated into the city through a subtle play of reflections and overlays. This exploration of gaze and presence gave birth to an art book published in 2021. Later fascinated by the distinctive 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 subjects acquire a troubling, almost living presence, challenging our relationship to illusion and projection.

New series – Walls of Legends

This series pays tribute to iconic figures who have made their mark on history, music, cinema, and popular culture. Each portrait, pared down to essentials, captures in a few striking contrasts an identity instantly recognizable. Created with contemporary digital tools and then transposed into a stencil aesthetics, the works are rooted in the street art tradition, between spontaneity and controlled execution. The deep black and raw surfaces evoke direct wall intervention, while imperfections and textures reinforce their urban character. Between collective memory and visual expression, this series offers a timeless reading of icons that continue to inhabit our imagination.
