Julian Opie Prints for Sale
Julian Opie (1958-) was raised in Oxford, England and attended Goldsmith's School of Art in London. He then attended Chelsea College of Art and became a teacher. In his portraiture, the human face is sometimes 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. Opie tries to portray someone's personality in as little detail as possible. Julian Opie's style was brought into the public eye when he was asked to design the cover for a compilation by British band Blur, Blur: The Best Of. www.julianopie.com
