Description from the seller

Crypto Comics Series - Recreating a photo using photos of the comic depicted.

Photographer Artist – Creator of Contemporary Images

A multidisciplinary photographer, writer and musician, David Law develops work centered on the gaze, presence and perception of images in urban spaces. He first gained recognition with a series devoted to shop-window mannequins, integrated into the city through a subtle play of reflections and overlays This exploration of the gaze and presence gave rise to an art book published in 2021. Later drawn to the distinctive aesthetic of collectible dolls and Japanese figurines, he continues this exploration by staging them in the streets of Paris and other European capitals. Through framing, lighting and composition, these inanimate models take on a disconcerting, almost lifelike presence, prompting us to question our relationship with illusion and projection.

The Cryptos series offers a contemporary reinterpretation of cultural icons through an immersive, vibrant pop art aesthetic. Each work is built as a mosaic composed of thousands of the artist’s photos. From a distance, the image reveals a recognizable figure, while up close it unveils a wealth of visual detail. Each fragment acts as a “wave,” evoking the artistic world of the subject depicted. The creative process is lengthy and demanding, requiring precision and mastery of graphic tools. Considerable work goes into the colors, lighting and overall harmony of the image. Everything is created originally and independently.

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 a certificate of authenticity. The prints are produced on aluminum with an integrated rear hanging system. Printed on bright white vinyl, mounted between two aluminum panels, with flexible UV- and moisture-resistant lamination, ensuring excellent durability, long-lasting resistance, color stability and a modern, contemporary finish

Career

Since 2014, David Law has taken part in around twenty contemporary art fairs a year in France and Europe. He is also the official photographer and videographer for several contemporary art fair organizers. Alongside his visual work, he pursues writing and music, with a body of work that includes 3 novels, a collection of short stories, a graphic novel, a photography book and 5 self-produced CDs. A singer and guitarist, he currently performs with the band FRENZY.

David Law Artist Photographer – Creator of contemporary images Multidisciplinary artist photographer, author and musician, David Law develops a body of work centered on gaze, presence and the perception of the image in urban space. He first made a name for himself with a series dedicated to shop-window models, integrated into the city through a subtle play of reflections and superimpositions. This exploration of gaze and presence gave birth 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, questioning our relationship to illusion and projection. Since 2022, David Law has been developing a new body of works using professional graphic tools such as a graphic tablet or Photoshop—he develops specific series on themes that fascinate him.
