Julian Opie — Elena and Cressie get ready for the party 1-6

Elena and Cressie get ready for the party 1-6

Julian Opie's *Elena and Cressie Get Ready for the Party 1–6* is a complete set of six screenprints rendered on Perspex with background inkjet print in colors on paper, each housed in the original aluminum frames specified by the artist. True to Opie's signature visual language, the works reduce the human figure to bold, graphic outlines and flat fields of color, evoking the aesthetic of digital animation and contemporary signage. The sequential format captures a narrative of preparation and transformation, presenting identity and appearance as a series of simplified, almost coded gestures.
