Meaning & Analysis

As is seen in Dino Crawling, the people Opie draws tend to be faceless. The artwork resonates with other prints by Opie depicting people in motion, such as Tina Walking (2010) and Academic (2014). In these prints, Opie brings individuality to the figures through their clothes and accessories. The nude figure in Dino Crawling, however, contrasts with these other images as it lacks any identifying features that might point towards the figure’s age, gender or profession.

Dino Crawling captures the essence of Opie’s simple and minimalist style. The artist often uses simplified forms which he renders using thick, black lines filled with blocks of colour. The result of this visual style is that Opie’s artworks often seem one-dimensional and appear flat and lacking in depth.

  • 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.
