NGV Kids presents Julian Opie: Studio for Kids, an interactive exhibition for children and families developed in collaboration with Julian Opie, one of Britain’s leading contemporary artists. Inspired by Opie’s London-based studio, where the artist is surrounded by his art collection, visitors to Julian Opie: Studio for Kids are invited to create portraits in an inspiring studio setting featuring displays of the artist’s art works selected from the NGV Collection.
Focusing on drawing, observation and portraiture, visitors of all ages are introduced to Opie’s techniques and processes when creating their own portraits. Using a custom-designed digital interactive that relates to Opie’s recollection of looking into a mirror and carefully tracing his reflection, children can observe their image on screen, and experiment with line, colour and shape to produce a digital self-portrait in the manner of the artist.
