Meaning & Analysis

Cars is one of a series of six screen prints produced by Opie from 1998-1999. The prints belong to his Cars? Collection which was printed by Advanced Graphics and published by the Alan Cristea Gallery in London which published many other collections by the artist, including Nature 2.

The prints in Opie’s Cars? collection were all made from hand-cut stencils and based on photographs taken by the artist which he then altered using a computer. The subjects of the Cars? prints resonate with many of the other artworks produced by Opie in the mid 1990s which capture the artist’s fascination with modern life and desire to represent the mundane and quotidian.

  • 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.
