ABOUT the ART and the ARTISTOne of Opies 2D image projects, London Couples is a vibrant coloured image of four coupleswalking in LondonThe 2 dimensional image in Opies unique reductive style evokes both a visual and spatialexperience of the world.London Couples reflects this with its 2 dimensional depth and embroidered walking imagescontained within a frame.The work of Julian Opie is known throughout the world. With public commissions from New Yorkto Seoul, London to Calgary, and an uninterrupted flow of international museum exhibitions, Opie’sdistinctive formal language is instantly recognisable and reflects his artistic preoccupation withthe idea of representation and the means by which images are perceived and understood.“Everything you see is a trick of the light,” Opie writes. “Light bouncing into your eye, light castingshadows, creating depth, shapes, colours. Turn off the light and it’s all gone. We use vision as ameans of survival and it’s essential to take it for granted in order to function, but awareness allowsus to look at looking and by extension look at ourselves and be aware of our presence. Drawing,drawing out the way that process feels and works brings the awareness into the present and intothe real world, the exterior world.” Always exploring different techniques both cutting edge andancient.
