Beginning with a photograph scanned into a computer, the artist uses software to edit the images and hone in on their graphic essentials. The fascinating results become icons that serve to identify the individuals with the least information possible. Whereas most of Opie's portraits feature unknowns, some commissioned works feature public figures like Blur, Kate Moss or Michael Schumacher. By identifying them in the titles only by their first names and occupations, Opie zaps these celebrities of their fame and mythic status, simplifying them down to the familiar, human shape of their faces.
