Meaning & Analysis

Depicted in bright, saturated colours and set against a stark, black backdrop, Still Life With Green Beans, Chilli Pepper And Carrots uses new computer technology to engage with the art historical tradition of Dutch still life painting. Opie questions the nature of representation throughout art history by presenting a 21st century version of the still life genre. Using a flattened black backdrop, without contextualising the vegetables with shadow or light, this print is made highly stylised, in line with Opie’s characteristic graphic visual language.

This series is indicative of Opie’s desire to work with one idea across a number of different compositions, producing many versions of a similar subject. Across the Still Life series, Opie is almost formulaic with his colour and composition choices, each characterised by a black background and a bright colour palette. This series functions as a study on colour and tone, as Opie pairs the fruit and vegetables together dependent on their contrasting colours.

  • 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.
