Julian Opie has a very unique style as he creates portraits with minimal detail, using only basic and simple colours and very basic shapes for features; small circles for eyes. He has done many other portraits using more detail however, the style that I am mainly looking at are the ones with less detail.
Also, in his portraits, he uses very thick, bold lines for lips, face, hair etc. The unique aspect of this form of art is the use of colours that can be used to create shading and light/dark areas.
Opie's work is very bold and striking with the use of the simple colour that he uses in the background. This makes the portrait stand out as the colours contrasting and bright.
