Julian Opie
Artist & Sculptor: Julian Opie, (1958).
British contemporary artist, born in London in 1958 and raised in Oxford. He graduated Chelsea School of Art in 1979 and Goldsmiths College in1982. He achieved some early gallery success, with his first solo show at the Lisson Gallery, London in '83, which was an incentive for slightly younger artists in the same college, such as Damien Hirst to do likewise. His highly stylised work, involves the reduction of photographs (or short films) into figurative reproductions (created using computer software), in this way, Julian Opie tries to present the complexities of the human form by reducing it to its mere basics. In his portraiture, the human face is characterised by black outlines with flat areas of colour, and minimalised detail, to the extent that an eye can become just the black circle of the pupil, and sometimes a head is represented by a circle with a space where the neck would be.
