Artwork for Sale by Julian Opie

Julian Opie (born 1958, London) is a British sculptor, painter and digital artist, associated with the New British Sculpture movement as well as Pop Art and Digital Art.
He is known for reducing figures and objects to bold outlines and flat color, using both traditional media (paint, steel sculpture) and modern technology (LED screens, lenticular prints, digital animation).

Julian Opie’s work is associated with:

• New British Sculpture (with peers like Anish Kapoor and Tony Cragg).
• Pop Art and the graphic tradition of mass-image culture — though he adapts and simplifies rather than directly replicates Pop.
• Digital Art and new media: he uses computer-aided design, LED animations and printed technologies to render his simplified figures.

Opie works across a range of media: steel and painted metal sculpture (especially early works) that reference everyday objects; paintings and prints with bold outlines and flat colour; digital and LED-sculptures and lenticular prints that incorporate movement or visual effect. His process often begins with a photograph, which he simplifies using digital tools (e.g., Adobe Illustrator) into the characteristic outline-and-block-colour style.
