Meaning & Analysis

Opie duplicates the lower portion of the figure’s legs and arms and blurs them in order to create the illusion of movement in this print. This technique is used in many of Opie’s artworks of anonymous figures walking in urban cities, such as Jeremy Walking In Coat. Other notable collections of figures walking by Opie include Walking In London and Walking In The Rain.

Sian Walking reflects how Opie prefers to depict ordinary people who are not known by the viewer, as opposed to finding ‘iconic’ subjects who are instantly recognisable. Opie privileges his immediate surroundings, taking inspiration from daily life and the quotidian. Opie’s artworks are marked by mundane reality yet still retain an intriguing and captivating pull that seizes the viewer’s attention.

  • 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.
