Julian Opie Art
Julian Opie's distinctive reductive style draws from diverse influences, including billboards, classical portraiture and sculpture, dance, Japanese woodblocks and cartoons.
Opie's work comprises silhouettes, animations, LED animations, and simplified portraits and landscapes, such as Landscape? from 1998–99, a screenprint of trees, grass, and sky in a flat pictorial rendering that recalls a child's puzzle. Employing a variety of media and technologies to make "paintings" of his subjects, Opie distills everyday images and experiences into concise but evocative signs and pictograms.

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.
