About this work

This striking lenticular work presents a sequence of standing figures rendered in Opie's signature minimalist style. Through the innovative use of lenticular technology, the composition shifts as viewers move around it, revealing different arrangements of boldly colored silhouettes in yellow, black, white, and blue against contrasting backgrounds. The reduced facial features and simplified forms distill human presence to its essential geometric elements, while the lenticular medium creates an animated effect that captures the rhythm and flow of pedestrian movement in urban spaces. Julian Opie's exploration of contemporary portraiture and the human figure has established him as one of Britain's most recognizable artists. This piece exemplifies his distinctive visual language that bridges fine art and popular culture, drawing from sources as diverse as ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and digital iconography. The lenticular format adds a dynamic dimension rarely found in static works, making it a conversation piece that rewards repeated viewing. Created during 2019-2020, it represents a significant example from Opie's ongoing investigation into perception and representation. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
