How does Julian Opie do his work?
1 Answer
How Julian Opie does his work is through trial and error. The British artist’s process is one of experimentation. Often, he begins by taking a photograph and then uploading it to a computer, which he then uses to add symbols, signs, shadows and outlines. Then, he adds color and collage to the works, layering elements on top of one another. As he sees what works and what does not, Opie removes, rearranges and edits these layers until he achieves the final result he envisioned. Explore an assortment of Julian Opie art on 1stDibs.
