British artist Julian Opie started painting portraits around 1997, setting his style as he developed his own expressive methods. His recent solo outing at Art Tower Mito (2008) presented the breadth of his art practice including not only paintings, but also portraits incorporating animation and lenticular printing, as well as landscape images. Opie’s third solo exhibition at SCAI focuses on new portraits and paintings and video works featuring the images of walking women, displaying the works in a classical, salon-style context, rather than the ‘white-cube’ style typical of contemporary art galleries.
