Cristea Roberts Gallery in London will present an exhibition of new works by British artist Julian Opie (b. 1958), alongside prints and editions produced over the last five years. The centerpiece is a large-scale installation of the series 'Everyone.', initiated in 2023 and continuing through 2025, featuring nearly 100 vinyl portraits of friends, gallerists, colleagues, family members, and studio visitors.
