Meaning & Analysis

Luc And Ludivine Get Married (pair 05) is representative of Opie’s fascination with the human body and the genre of portraiture. The series as a whole explores various combinations of poses between the two figures, repeating the subject multiple times but each work has a unique composition. In this work, Opie shows the figures facing inwards towards one another, creating one of the more traditional compositions of the entire series.

Typical of many of Opie’s portraits, Luc And Ludivine Married (pair 05) is rendered with the absolute minimum by which a person can be represented. Reduced to black and white bold lines, the images show the figures with dots for eyes and simple lines for their mouth. Opie is interested in depicting people as a means to represent the mundanities of modern life and explore what it is to be human.

  • 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.
