Meaning & Analysis

The print is part of Opie’s Nature 2 collection which features 6 monochrome lenticular prints, all of which are rendered in black and white and show scenes inspired by nature and the natural landscape.

Opie’s artworks are immediately recognisable due to his distinct artistic style, characterised by his use of thick black lines filled with solid, flat colour. Opie’s style was influenced by other contemporary artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein who experimented with various printing techniques and sought to challenge what could be considered ‘fine art’.

  • Julian Opie, born in 1958, dances through the contemporary art scene with a distinctive digital allure. A trailblazer of the 1980s New British Sculpture movement, Opie's work is a highly stylised blend of Pop Art and minimalism which navigates the intersection of technology and visual expression. From his early experiments with computer-generated art to his iconic portraits and animated installations, Opie's work exudes a captivating simplicity. His signature style, marked by bold lines and reduced forms, is internationally recognisable and has made him a key player in British contemporary art.
