OPIE, JULIAN

* 12.12.1958 London

Julian Opie was born in 1958 in London where he studied at Goldsmiths College from 1979 to 1982. Having completed his studies, in 1983 he began to shape and combine various geometric, colourful figures out of sheet steel. In the same year his first exhibition was held in the Lisson Gallery in London. The steel objects were also widely acclaimed at documenta 8 in 1984. Numerous exhibitions followed in renowned galleries and museums, such as the Biennale in Venice 1993 and the Tate Britain in 2000.

In 1997 he began his now-famous portrait series with reduced facial expressions within black contour lines, which manage to retain the person's characteristic features despite these being kept to a minimum. He later combined these minimalist figures with animation, showing moving figures on large screens and displays, or as giant LED works of art. Julian Opie lives and works in London.
