With gentle mockery and sharp intellect, Julian Opie uses painting, printmaking, sculpture, film and light installations to reinterpret familiar objects, and illustrate how modernist concepts and forms have been assimilated into the lexicon of everyday life. Opie’s oeuvre centers on a range of powerful metaphors drawn from an intense study of the environment. Modeling his pictorial surface after the simplified and idealized world of computer imagery, he uses a range of contemporary media to evoke how technology informs perception and contemporary experience.
