Meaning & Analysis

Using computer-drawing programmes to complete his works, Woman Taking Off A Man’s Shirt In Five Stages is indicative of Opie’s desire to find a standardised version of the human figure. The artist’s depictions of nude figures relate to imagery used on the signs of lavatory doors for example, and Opie combines this kind of imagery with a digital photograph of a real person to create the resulting image.

Charged with an explicitly sexualised tone this print is dynamic in its sequential composition. By placing the figures next to one another in differing poses from left to right, the viewer's eye follows the print as the figure removes her dress. The composition provides the static print with a sense of movement and motion that injects realism into the graphic print. For Opie, movement itself is a form of realism in relation to the human form.

  • 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.
