Meaning & Analysis

Street 6 is one of six prints in Opie's Street collection. Each print in this collection shows a group of faceless figures depicted walking through a city. The prints can be seen alongside a group of three auto paint on aluminium sculptures that Opie exhibited in New York as part of his first solo exhibition at the Lisson Gallery in 2019.

Opie often produces artworks of people walking. Other notable collections of figures walking by Opie include Walking In London and Walking In The Rain. The Street collection reflects how Opie prefers to depict ordinary people in his artworks who are not known by the viewer. Opie avoids depicting ‘iconic’ subjects who are instantly recognisable, as was often done by Pop artists like Andy Warhol, who Opie is frequently compared to. Opie privileges his immediate surroundings, taking inspiration from daily life and the quotidian. Opie’s artworks showcase 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.
