Julian Opie: the perfection of minimalism as the search for nothingness

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. Se discute, desde la región de la filosofía del arte, la hipótesis de que el minimalismo de las obras del artista británico contemporáneo Julian Opie, se encarama hacia una nada representacional que se muestra precisamente como la otra cara del ser de la obra. Para ello, se realiza una hermenéutica de tres obras del artista, dentro de un encuadre teórico formado por las observaciones de Kant, Heidegger y Holzapfel respecto del concepto de la nada. Se concluye validando la hipótesis inicial, bajo el argumento de que el “Proyecto Opie” se ha revelado como un proyecto estético-figurativo en que la depuración del ser de los objetos que forman su “colección” de personajes, transita indefectiblemente hacia una nada representacional que parece querer rozar la perfección: la de las formas mínimas y la de los colores ultraplanos o impensablemente transparentes.
