Julian Opie (born in 1958, in London) is a visual artist, and one of the New British Sculpture movements. Julien Opie LED Artwork in Dublin, Ireland, 2008. Julian Opie was raised in Oxford. After the Dragon School, Oxford, he spent some time at Magdalen College School, in Oxford. Once his studies were completed, he returned to the Chelsea College of Art and became a teacher there. Opie is a former trustee of the Tate Gallery. In his portraiture, the human face is sometimes characterized by black outlines with flat areas of color, and minimalized detail, to the extent that an eye can become just the black circle of the pupil, and sometimes a head is represented by a circle with a space where the neck would be, Opie tries to portray someone's personality in as little detail as possible. Opie uses computers in the art for other works. His Imagine you are... series, demonstrated how activities such as driving, walking, and climbing could be represented by simple reductions. In addition, Opie uses sculpture and light installations to present items of everyday life. Julian Opie also implements computer technology by cutting out the outlines and colored shapes, sometimes on vinyl, as in large display banners at Tate Britain. Opie is a former trustee of the Tate Gallery and exhibits with Lisson Gallery and Alan Cristea Gallery in London, England. His studio and workshop are based in Shoreditch, London. He was also the subject of a book by Mary Horlock published by Tate Publishing as part of their Contemporary Artist series. Opie created a monument to singer Bryan Adams while he was in Indianapolis because he has an AM-rock, big-open-sound, low-slung-guitar feel, though when he paints women, they are often more blatantly sexually charged. In 2010, the four-sided LED Sculpture Ann Dancing will be installed in Indianapolis, Indiana as the first artwork on the Indianapolis Cultural Trail.
