Meaning & Analysis

As with many of Opie’s figures, the model in this print is anonymised by her featureless face and is thus reduced to a ‘type’, rather than being someone to be recognised. At the same time, Opie depicts the figure as always facing the viewer, and so by self-consciously subjecting herself to being looked at she maintains her sovereignty over the desiring gaze and disrupts the expectations of the viewer.

This is Shahnoza 3 is theatrical in its use of movement and motion. Wearing a black dress, the woman is depicted in a series of dynamic and alluring poses typical of choreography seen in strip clubs and popular culture. Opie unsettles the viewer’s assumptions of what constitutes high art by presenting an image that is more likely to be found in a ‘gentleman’s club’ than in an art gallery setting.

  • 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.
