Description from the seller
Crypto Rock Special Series – Recreating a photograph using photos of the artist depicted.
Photographic Artist – Creator of Contemporary Images
Multidisciplinary photographic artist, writer and musician, David Law creates work centered on the gaze, presence and perception of images in urban spaces. He first came to prominence with a series devoted to shop-window mannequins, integrated into the city through a subtle interplay of reflections and overlays. This exploration of the gaze and presence led to an art book published in 2021. Later drawn to the distinctive aesthetic of collectible dolls and Japanese figurines, he continued 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 questions about our relationship with illusion and projection.
The Crypto 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 photos. From a distance, the image reveals a recognizable figure, while up close it offers a wealth of visual detail. Each fragment acts like 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 plates, 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 3 novels, a short story collection, a graphic novel, a photo book and 5 self-produced CDs to his name. A singer and guitarist, he currently performs with the band FRENZY.
