Julian Opie’s minimalist figurative portraits and landscapes provide a streamlined perspective on modern life. His bold silhouettes are inspired by traditional portraiture, Japanese woodblock prints, Egyptian hieroglyphics, and road signage. A Goldsmiths’ College alumnus, Opie has exhibited in major cities like London, Tokyo, New York, and Berlin. His work is held in prestigious collections, including the Arts Council in England, the Museum of Modern Art, and the National Portrait Gallery. Opie's art has sold for six figures in the secondary market and spans painting, drawing, sculpture, and film.
