Meaning & Analysis

The elements and distinguishing characteristics of Opie’s subject have been reduced down to their most essential. Additionally, the use of thick black lines sketching the figure’s contours is a device Opie repeatedly adopts throughout his oeuvre, making a work of his easily identifiable. The man’s head has been reduced to a circle of one solid colour, another repeated stylistic device throughout Opie’s artistic career. Despite omitting the man’s features, which might help to identify who the subject is, the man’s individuality remains in his clothing and gait, which Opie decidedly does not omit.

  • 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.
