| Sumario: | It is discussed, from the region of the philosophy of art, the hypothesis that the minimalism of the works of the contemporary British artist Julian Opie, is based on a representational nothingness that is shown precisely as the other face of the being of the work. To this end, a hermeneutic of three of the artist’s works is carried out, within a theoretical framework formed by the observations of Kant, Heidegger and Holzapfel regarding the concept of nothingness. It is concluded by validating the initial hypothesis, under the argument that the “Opie Project” has revealed itself as an aesthetic-figurative project in which the purification of the being of the objects that form his “collection” of characters, unfailingly transits towards a representational nothingness that seems to want to verge on perfection: that of minimal forms and ultra-flat or unthinkably transparent colors. |
