David Law (1967) - Icons on Walls - The Ramones

David Law

Multidisciplinary Photographer Artist – Creator of contemporary imagery

Multidisciplinary photographic artist, author and musician, David Law develops work centered on gaze, presence and the perception of image in urban space. He first became known for a series devoted to storefront mannequins, integrated into the city through a subtle play of reflections and superimpositions. This exploration of gaze and presence gave rise to an art book published in 2021. Later 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 relation to illusion and projection.

Series - ICONS ON WALLS

From the legends of rock to emblematic figures of the alternative scene, Icons on Walls revisits the great icons of music through an aesthetic inspired by street art and urban walls. Portraits with stencils, weathered textures, torn posters and compositions dominated by black, white and gray, punctuated by discreet touches of color, compose a raw and contemporary graphic universe. Each work is an original graphic composition, built from a mix of visuals, superpositions and layers, assembled and reworked to create a new image, between photography, graphic design and urban aesthetics. A collection where music legends are inscribed on walls, between collective memory, pop culture and artistic expression.

Edition & Fabrication

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 hanging system. Printing on luminous 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 rendering.
