Meaning & Analysis

Street 2 can be seen alongside five other relief prints made by Opie, all of which depict a group of anonymous people walking. The prints are part of Opie’s Street collection which was made to accompany his auto paint on aluminium sculptures of the same name, which similarly depict figures walking through a city. The artworks were shown at Opie’s first solo gallery exhibition in New York City at the Lisson Gallery in March 2019.

The figures in Street 2 capture the essence of Opie’s distinct visual style which is characterised by his use of simplified forms rendered using thick outlines filled with blocks of colour. Opie’s style has been compared to Minimalism and Pop Art and the artist was clearly influenced by the cartoon and comic book imagery of Roy Lichtenstein, as well as Patrick Caulfield’s use of bold outlines.

  • 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.
