JULIAN OPIE
Reality is an idea or symbol created by art, culture and media.
Computer generated images replace the impulsive/natural look: a
constructed sign is successful if it can be perceived in an instant.
With a strategy of simplification, toylike stylization and at the
same time an attentive selection of details that correspond to the
mainstream gaze of the "curious tourist", famous British artist
Julian Opie returns a feeling of reality to the screen look.
The "surplus of value" that Opie creates in his art is the
subjectivity of the way he sees objects - as things that the public
can recognise.
Known through works in traditional media: painting, objects,
sculpture, Opie's opus actually lies interlaced between the virtual
and the real, creating an alienating but at the same time infantile
and harmless space.- MANIK
