Meaning & Analysis

Dynamic in its sequential composition, Bijou Gets Undressed 2 utilises gestures and iconography typical of a strip show to create an image of a predetermined ‘type’, whilst also maintaining a sense of realism through movement. In using clear-cut outlines to depict the figure and a blank circle as her head, Opie anonymises the model, working to further emphasise this idea of the woman as ‘type’.

Never erasing the personality of his models, Opie highlights the particularities of an individual through the reduction of frivolous details and a focus on pose. At the same time, there is a utilitarian quality to Opie’s visual language through his use of simplified shape and form that create a system of signs. Opie cleverly confronts the viewer to think about how we perceive images of people and how we might relate to them by presenting them as familiar signs.
