Meaning & Analysis

At first glance, these portraits are distinctly modern in their use of simplified and abstracted forms but Opie synthesises this with the composition and form inspired by 19th century silhouette portraiture. Throughout his artistic oeuvre Opie has taken inspiration from ancient Egyptian and Roman art, and Dutch and British painted portraits of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, to eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japanese prints, and the symbolic language of modern signage.

Opie shows the portraits of the both the male and female figures in profile, facing the same direction and turned to the right. Typical of many of Opie’s portraits, Luc And Ludivine Married (pair 06) is rendered with the absolute minimum by which a person can be represented. Reduced to black and white bold lines, the images show the figures with dots for eyes and simple lines for their mouth.

  • Julian Opie, born in 1958, dances through the contemporary art scene with a distinctive digital allure. A trailblazer of the 1980s New British Sculpture movement, Opie's work is a highly stylised blend of Pop Art and minimalism which navigates the intersection of technology and visual expression. From his early experiments with computer-generated art to his iconic portraits and animated installations, Opie's work exudes a captivating simplicity. His signature style, marked by bold lines and reduced forms, is internationally recognisable and has made him a key player in British contemporary art.
