줄리안 오피(Julian Opie), 영국, 시각예술가, 1958-현재
영국의 화가이자 설치미술가, '줄리안 오피'는 "걷는 사람들"을 그립니다. 몇 년 전엔 서울에서 작업하고 전시한 작품은 "신사동 사람들"과 "빗속의 사당동 사람들".
그는 사진과 영상 이미지를 단순화시킨 다음, 몇 개의 선과 모양만으로 인물 형상을 그립니다. 현대인의 익명성을 나타냄과 동시에, 경쾌하고 친숙한 이 시대의 팝 아이콘이 되고 있습니다.
동그라미만으로 얼굴이 묘사된 인물들은 당당하고, 대담합니다. 그리고, "걷는 사람들"은 최근 들어 경쾌하게 셔플댄스를 춤춘답니다.
About Him
The work of Julian Opie is known throughout the world. With public commissions from New York to Seoul, London to Calgary, and an uninterrupted flow of international museum exhibitions, Opie’s distinctive formal language is instantly recognisable and reflects his artistic preoccupation with the 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 casting shadows, creating depth, shapes, colours. Turn off the light and it’s all gone. We use vision as a means of survival and it’s essential to take it for granted in order to function, but awareness allows us 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 into the real world, the exterior world.” Always exploring different techniques both cutting edge and ancient, Opie plays with ways of seeing through reinterpreting the vocabulary of everyday life; his reductive style evokes both a visual and spatial experience of the world around us. Drawing influence from classical portraiture, Egyptian hieroglyphs and Japanese woodblock prints, as well as public signage, information boards and traffic signs, the artist connects the clean visual language of modern life, with the fundamentals of art history.
