Meaning & Analysis

The print can be seen alongside a variety of other digital prints, all of which depict faceless figures captured in motion, walking presumably to or from work. The titles of the prints reveal the professions of the people captured in the prints. The jobs vary from an architect to a mechanic, a nurse to an academic. The way in which Opie renders these figures without faces highlights how they could be anyone which reflects Opie’s interest in depicting the ordinary in his artworks.

Banker captures the essence of Opie’s distinct visual style which is characterised by his use of thick outlines filled with blocks of colour. Opie’s artistic language resonates with the comic book imagery of Roy Lichtenstein as well as the use of outlines by Patrick Caulfield.

  • 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.
