Julian Opie (b. 1958, London, England) is a contemporary British artist known for his distinct style of graphic figuration. The highly stylized treatment Opie gives his subjects—thick black outlines and with solid fills of flat color—is a blend of Pop art and Minimalism. His earliest works consisted of painted steel sculptures exploring the relationship between visual and spatial observation.

Over time, Opie has expanded his practice to include painting, installation and film. His work is part of the collections at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Portrait Gallery in London, the Stedelijik Museum in Amsterdam and others. Opie currently lives and works in London, England.
