Julian Opie is a leading contemporary artist. He studied at Goldsmiths' College (1979-82) under Michael Craig-Martin, for whom he briefly worked as an assistant, and he emerged as an influential figure on the British art scene in the 1980s, with a series of painted metal sculptures. Opie's highly stylised work, involves the reduction of photographs or short films into figurative reproductions, created using computer software. In his portraiture, the human face is characterised by black outlines with flat areas of colour, and minimal detail. Opie's work has been exhibited extensively in galleries and museums around the world and is held in many public and private collections.
