108 // MSN2 / Research / Julian Opie
Julian Opie is one of the most significant artists of his generation whose artistic preoccupation has investigated the idea of representation and the means by which images are perceived and understood. Throughout his practice, Opie has developed his own reductive formal language which seeks to reflect, not reality itself, but rather the way in which reality is represented: his distinctive language of discipline and formal consistency which is employed in his current portrait and landscape work.
Have a look at his website (http://www.julianopie.com) and this is a selection of his artwork with a focus on his way of depicting landscapes, cities and urban life.
