Meaning & Analysis

Opie creates a sexually charged image, using the ‘ideal’ woman’s body as we know it from advertising and mass culture and reducing it to a set of signs. Bijou Gets Undressed 7 amalgamates abstraction with realistic moments, showing the figure’s head as a blank circle hovering over her shoulders whilst maintaining sex appeal. By anonymising the woman in the print, aside from providing the viewer with a first name, Opie aims at depicting the stereotypical portrait of a woman.

Bijou Gets Undressed 7 uses choreography, gestures and typical iconography of strip shows and catwalks to produce a predetermined ‘type’ that is instantly recognisable to the viewer. Opie plays into the erotic fantasies of the assumed male spectator through his sign-like visual language to unpack the repeated utilisation of the female body in media and the dominance of the male gaze.

  • 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.
