Meaning & Analysis

Luc And Ludivine Get Married (pair 02) explicitly engages with the 19th century art historical tradition of silhouette portraiture, led by artist Auguste Edouart, whereby the new middle classes would commission family group or individual portraits to record a moment in time. Opie has a strong interest in noticing silhouettes everywhere and his The Gallery Staff series from 2010 also engages with this tradition.

Opie places many of his works within art historical narratives by engaging with the traditional genre of portraiture painting and his use of composition and pose in Luc And Ludivine Get Married is typical of this. At the same time, Opie turns the art historical context on its head by playing with different compositions in an almost mechanical way across the series and rendering the portraits as highly simplified pictograms that are unequivocally modern.

  • Julian Opie, born in 1958, dances through the contemporary art scene with a distinctive digital allure. A trailblazer of the 1980s New British Sculpture movement, Opie's work is a highly stylised blend of Pop Art and minimalism which navigates the intersection of technology and visual expression. From his early experiments with computer-generated art to his iconic portraits and animated installations, Opie's work exudes a captivating simplicity. His signature style, marked by bold lines and reduced forms, is internationally recognisable and has made him a key player in British contemporary art.
