Julian Opie
Cornish Coast (Gribbin Head), 2017
Julian Opie has developed a highly recognizable visual language that reduces landscapes, figures, and urban motifs to their essential forms. In Gribbin Head, part of the Cornish Coast series, Opie applies his characteristic vocabulary of simplified contours and flat color planes to render a coastal view with striking clarity. The lighthouse at Gribbin Head punctuates the horizon, anchoring the composition while underscoring the balance between abstraction and representation.
