About the Item
Extraordinary photograph taken and signed by the Parisian photographer David Law, where a female face is represented. It is printed in methacrylate, a modern material that enhances the brightness and depth of the image. In addition, this bracket adds a reflection effect that can change depending on the lighting and the angle from which the work is viewed, introducing dynamism.
The photograph features a close-up of a female face, with fleshy lips in an intense purple tone and eyes profiled with dark shadows. This composition makes manifest an intention and a focus on sensuality. An intimate and enveloping atmosphere is also created, with a certain air of mystery, a characteristic present in the author's works. In addition, it should be borne in mind that the use of the face as a central theme may refer to issues of identity and perception.
Light handling is crucial in this piece. The reflections in the material, along with the shadows that envelop the face, play with the space, creating an interaction between the inside and the outside. This aspect reinforces the symbolic and ambiguous character of the work, where the face seems to emerge from the image but at the same time fades into it. The lines and shapes of the face are well defined, but when captured in methacrylate, they acquire an almost dreamlike appearance, as if trapped between different dimensions.
David Law
London-based photographer David Law was born in Paris in 1967. He completed his secondary education in 1988 and pursued higher studies in the field of video and image. Insatiable and versatile, he tries his luck at poetry, writing, the comic, soundtrack recording, directing, film editing and, finally, photography. Always attracted to the mannequins in the storefronts, which seem to interrogate him, he began to photograph them in 1994. For these photos of "Girls in Town", he seeks to penetrate the mystery and the soul of these beautiful lonely women, who, like a mirror of our own lives, they give us back the image of what we are. His universe revolves around reflections and reflected reality, as another world mirror of reality.
Therefore, this photographer specializes in capturing intimate and meaningful moments through his lens. He is distinguished by his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, be they people, animals or landscapes. He has traveled to many places around the world to capture unique moments and tell visual stories.
His photographs have been exhibited in renowned galleries and published in prestigious magazines. His work has also been recognized with several awards, which testifies to his talent and dedication. David Law is also a photography teaching enthusiast. He shares his knowledge and experience through workshops, lectures and online tutorials, helping others develop their photographic skills and creativity.

Korea Etching by Deok Sung Kang, numbered 75/75
By Duck Shin
Located in Valladolid, ES
Gorgeous Etching, with aquatint and color matrix by the South Korean artist Deok Sung Kang, made around 1990. The works of this artist, although they tend towards abstraction, are really inspired by nature. They illustrate a very personal vision of everyday objects and phenomena. The creative brilliance of this artist is widely recognized.
In this case, the work is divided into two areas, the first of which is dominated by a red color, which represents a pair of red roses using a rather realistic technique. However, in contrast, a larger area of intense blue inspired by natural motifs and splashed with a red spot.
About the artist
Deok Sung Kang is a painter and printmaker of South Korean origin. He studied Fine Arts in his native country, although he later attended the École de Beaux Arts in Paris and, later, in 1989, he settled in Madrid, where he continued his studies at the Complutense University of Madrid. The highlight of his facet as a painter are his prints, often using rice paper as a support.
Most of his works have been exhibited at fairs and exhibitions in Spain, but he has also done some in his country, such as at the Art Museum in Seoul.
About the technique
The origin of prints in Asian art has its foundations in the knowledge of printing texts on woodblocks, around the 8th century. Over time, it evolved and this new art became accessible to the majority of the public, opening the doors to the enjoyment of art and collecting, which until then was limited only to merchants, rich warriors...
Gprgeous Etching is a type of engraving, which is made using a metal plate (iron, zinc or copper) as a base, which is covered with a light layer of a protective varnish or acid-resistant wax. The engraver draws with a stylus on the layer of varnish, reaching just up to the metal plate. Later, the plate is dipped in etching, hence its name, a solution based on water and nitric acid, which corrodes the copper in the areas where it was not protected by the varnish. The immersion time is what determines the depth of the line.
Metal plates engraved with this technique can be printed with the desired ink colour, prepared by combining various pigments and binders.
