Julian Opie’s lenticular works occupy a distinctive and highly coveted position within his oeuvre, merging his iconic visual language with cutting-edge optical technology. By translating his minimalist portraits and walking figures into animated compositions, Opie transforms static imagery into dynamic, time-based experiences that engage the viewer through movement and perceptual shift. The lenticular medium heightens the conceptual core of his practice — an exploration of how identity, motion, and representation are constructed in the contemporary world — while offering an object that feels simultaneously technological and timeless.
