Julian Opie









Julian Opie has an incredible talent of simplifying
and iconifying images. Taking something detailed
and breaking it down to its most simple form. He
recently had a city-wide exhibit in my home-city
of Indianapolis. It was so amazing to be around
downtowna and suddenly see a giant installation
of his work. Many people I think were confused by it.
It's so rudimentary that people mistook the motion
girls signs as being actual traffic directors. I love
seeing art in everyday images such as these.
