about Julian Opie

Julian Opie is one of the most distinctive figures in contemporary British art, known for a visual language that reduces the human figure and landscape to their essential forms. Emerging from the late-1980s British art scene, Opie developed a highly recognisable style defined by bold outlines, flat colour and graphic clarity, drawing on influences from classical portraiture, Japanese woodblock prints and modern signage.

Working across painting, sculpture and digital media, Opie explores how images can be simplified without losing expressive power. His portraits and walking figures, often animated through subtle movement or repetition, capture the rhythms of everyday life with remarkable economy.

Opie’s work is held in major museum collections worldwide and has been widely exhibited internationally.
