Julian Opie

Lisson Gallery, London

Sara gets undressed, Bryan plays guitar, At home with Monique. In this new body of work, Opie extends his language of portraiture by devoting one room to each of three subjects: Sara, a professional model, Monique, a Swiss collector, and Bryan, a well-known rock-star. Using computer animation, vinyl, sound and LED displays, Opie gives an unexpected interpretation of the familiar classicism of the portrait.

Sara gets undressed, Bryan plays guitar, At home with Monique

Lisson Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Julian Opie. This will be his seventh solo exhibition at Lisson, the first since 2001.

In this new body of work, Opie extends his language of portraiture by devoting one room to each of three subjects: Sara, a professional model, Monique, a Swiss collector, and Bryan, a well-known rock-star. Using computer animation, vinyl, sound and LED displays, Opie gives an unexpected interpretation of the familiar classicism of the portrait. Drawing from influences as diverse as billboard signs, classical portraiture and sculpture, to Japanese Manga comics and Hergé's Adventures of Tintin, Opie uses a variety of media and technologies which enable him to make three-dimensional explorations of his subjects.

Julian Opie lives and works in London. Recent one-person exhibitions include "Bijou gets undressed", K21 Dusseldorf, 2003, "Einladung Julian Opie", Neues Museum Nürnberg, Nurenberg 2003 and Ikon Gallery, Birmingham 2001. An outdoor installation for the Public Art Fund, on Broadway, NYC is scheduled for September 2004 and the Boston I.C.A City Project for 2005.

Christine Borland's exhibition runs until 20 March at Lisson New Space, 29 Bell Street.
