This private view invitation reproduces Julian Opie's work The Gallery Staff 2, one of a series of silhouette portraits of gallery workers from the contemporary art scene printed on glass. Typically Opie sources his imagery photographically and then manipulates it digitally to produce his trademark bold, simplified images in a variety of graphic media.
