Walking in Melbourne 3 ,  2018 Beach Head 14 , 2018 Paisley Dress and Red Gown , 2015 Flat Cap Man , 2016 Walking in Melbourne 6 , 2018 Julian Opie is a pop artist born in London in 1958, who has a very distinct style consisting of thick black outlines, bright flat colors, and minimalist composition. He seems to do a fair amount of people watching as he travels, which makes for intriguing narratives in his portraits. I love the simplicity of his style, and how even though the pieces bear no real resemblance to their sources, they still feel like they are depicting actual individuals.
