JULIAN OPIE
Julian opie is a contemporary English artist which produces highly stylized work whish involves the reduction of photographs by using a computer software, so he produces less detailed portraits on people by characterizing the people with black outlines with block colours and minimalised detail. So it can be as simple as an eye being just the dot of a pupil, or the nose just being the norstrils. And the outline of a lip. Also he does full portraits where the head can just be a circle with a space where the neck would be along with the body, so it looks like a floating head.
Opie uses sculptures and light installations to present items of everyday life. His style was then reconised more to the public when he did a famous british band cd album cover of the four band artists in the style of his work. He is one of the most leading figures in computerized technology.
Julian Opie studied at Goldsmiths College (1979–82) under Michael Craig-Martin, for whom he briefly worked as an assistant. His work is held in most major museum collections including The Tate Gallery, London, and MoMA, New York, and he has completed major public commissions in cities all over the world.
