Meaning & Analysis

Opie has created this image using digital photography and computer drawing programmes, a creative process he is well versed in and renowned for. Initially Opie captures the sitter through digital photographs so as to get a feel for their personality and point to any crucial details that are integral to their character. He then chooses his favourite images and draws over the individual photographs on the computer to reduce and abstract the original image.

Set against a bright orange and red backdrop, Elena And Cressie Get Ready For The Party 4 has no contextual backdrop to situate the subject. This is typical of Opie’s highly graphic style that aims to confront the viewer with the artificiality of his computer-generated images. Retaining tonal details in the contours of the sitter’s face and finer details such as eyelashes, the figure appears like an animated character from a video game.

  • 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.
