Meaning & Analysis

Much like many of Opie’s figurative works, the model in this print is depicted with a blank circle as a head so as to create a highly stylised work that is instantly recognisable. Whilst using simplified shapes and thick, bold lines, Opie manages to capture the individuality of the model through details like clothes and in his depiction of movement. Subsequently, Bijou Gets Undressed 1 is an ambiguous and alluring print.

This print is indicative of Opie’s interest in animation in the way that his use of the horizontal composition gives the static image a sense of movement. Creating a sequence of five poses from photographs taken one after the other in quick succession, Bijou Gets Undressed 1 is a dynamic print that appears like a short loop animation. Despite the highly stylised element to this image, Opie captures the essence of the model through his depiction of her movements and gestures.

  • 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.
