Meaning & Analysis

Landscape is a screen print, executed by the British artist Julian Opie in 1990, released in an edition of 40. This highly simplified depiction of an open landscape, trees and a blue sky, generates a pared back perspective on modern life, in which all idiosyncratic details are omitted. There are two types of trees: one pair in a darker shade of green, the same stencil being used in each pair but just of varying sizes. These simplified forms executed in monotone colours, are typical of Opie’s oeuvre. Despite this scene being inspired by Opie’s own experiences, the landscape is totally depersonalised.

Being computer and mathematically-based, this landscape still expresses a desire to escape from a more urban environment. The land in the foreground flat, yet there is a promise of hills in the distance. In this sense, Opie hopes his landscapes depict worlds which the viewer will desire to escape into.

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.
