Meaning & Analysis

Luc And Ludivine Get Married (pair 08) is part of a 16-part series, each work showing the same two figures but in a variation of pose combinations. Each work in the series is therefore unique and the series as a whole represents Opie’s desire to repeat a single idea many times to explore variation on pose and composition to its full potential. This particular series is indicative of Opie’s fascination with portraiture and people in his repetition of the subject.

Opie started drawing people using the old Letraset tracing paper over photographs but explains: 'I consciously looked around for a way in which I could draw people and it started by buying the aluminium symbols for male and female toilets and I looked at them and thought I could combine, as I often do, the impersonal with the personal.' Opie’s mechanical repetition of the subject reflects this tension between the impersonal and personal.

  • 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.
