Meaning & Analysis

Characteristic of Opie’s minimalist style, the figure has a blank circle floating above her body as a head and is defined only by an outline of clothing. This is indicative of Opie’s desire to create a syntax of signs from the human body, retaining a basic form but adding small details that reveal something unique about the model. Consequently, the figure in Bijou Gets Undressed 3 is both ambiguous and alluring.

Charged with an explicitly sexualised tone this print is dynamic in its sequential composition. By placing the figures next to one another in different poses from left to right, the viewer's eye follows the figure as she removes her dress, like watching a moving image. This clever use of composition gives the static print the appearance of a piece of animation, a medium that Opie has delved into throughout his career.

  • 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.
