David Law (1967) - Basquiat (Stencil)

David Law Photographer Artist – Creator of contemporary images Multidisciplinary photographic artist, 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 became known for 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. 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 relationship to illusion and projection. New series – Walls of legends This series pays tribute to iconic figures who have shaped history, music, cinema and popular culture. Each portrait, reduced to essentials, captures in a few powerful contrasts an identity immediately recognizable. Created with contemporary digital tools and then transposed into a stencil-like aesthetic, the works sit within the tradition of street art, balancing spontaneity and mastery of gesture. Deep blacks and raw surfaces evoke direct intervention on the wall, while imperfections and textures reinforce their urban character. Between collective memory and visual expression, this series offers a timeless reading of icons who continue to inhabit our imagination. Edition & Manufacturing Each work is offered in a limited edition of 8 numbered copies plus 4 artist proofs (A.P.), signed by the artist and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The prints are produced on aluminum with an integrated rear mount.

Parcours Since 2014, David Law participates in around twenty contemporary art fairs per year in France and Europe.
