Biography
(1958-)
One of the most significant artists of his generation, Opie has developed a reductive visual language in which the idea of representation and the means by which images are perceived and understood are investigated. Shahnoza, the dancing girl featured in Opie's recent work, is here captured in black granite. This is Shahnoza in Stone, formed of three pieces, is engraved with her lithe body reclining as her legs kick out and around one another.
Recent exhibitions include MAK, Vienna, Austria, Lisson Gallery, London, Krobath Wimmer, Vienna, Austria, Art Tower Mito, Japan and Opie's work can be found in public collections worldwide.
