Julian Opie
Julian Opie is one of the UK’s leading artists, and today his works can be seen throughout the world. Installed in cities as part of their natural metropolitan landscape, Opie’s works bring joy to passersby of all nationalities and ages̶whether it be sculpture work permanently installed in central London, a mural in a New York hotel lobby, giant video works on the street in Zurich and Hong Kong, the video works of walking people in the lobby of Dentsu’s headquarters in the Shiodome area of Tokyo, or stone sculptures in the ruins of Takamatsu Castle in Takamatsu City, Japan. Characterized by simple black line drawings and vibrant colors that bring to mind pictograms and digital signage, his work blends into our daily lives without us being away of it, until one day it catches our attention, and we ask with surprise, “What’s this, … why is it here?” Unlike static artwork that awaits visitors at art museums and galleries, Opie’s work makes its own way onto the street and finds its place in the midst of the relationships between people and the city. It is lively art, embodying contemporary society.
