Meaning & Analysis

Walking In Melbourne 1 is one of ten prints in Opie’s Walking In Melbourne collection. Each print in this collection features groups of faceless figures walking unassumingly through the city. The figures do not have faces however can be distinguished from one another from their outfits and the accessories they are holding. Opie often depicts people walking through cities and other notable collections include Walking In The Rain and Walking In London.

Opie’s use of bright and bold colours in these prints resonates with the work of Pop artists such as Andy Warhol. The thick outlines Opie employs in these artworks have also led to comparisons between his visual language and that of 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.
