David Law (1967) - Icons on Walls - Souxsie and the Banshees

David Law

Photographer Artist – Creator of contemporary images

Multidisciplinary photographer-artist, author and musician, David Law develops a body of work centered on gaze, presence and the perception of image in urban space. He first made himself known with a series devoted 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. Later, drawn to 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.

Série - ICONS ON WALLS

From rock legends to iconic 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, worn 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, superimpositions and layers, assembled and reworked to create a new image, at the crossroads of photography, graphic design and urban aesthetics. A collection where music legends are inscribed on walls, between collective memory, popular culture and artistic expression.
