Meaning & Analysis

Maria Theresa engages with the canonical art historical genre of portraiture and appears as though it were an image of a royal or aristocrat. In depicting the sitter without facial features, using a blank circle floating above her shoulders as a head, Opie subverts the traditional genre to provoke ideas surrounding what makes a portrait of a person distinct. Opie uses drastically simplified form to form the base of many of his portraits, embellishing each one with clothing, resulting in a variety of unique types.

In creating this portrait through ‘objective’ computer technologies, Opie forms a kind of ‘non’ style that disguises the artist’s hand. Much like the way in which the identity of the sitter is partially disguised, Opie contains subjectivity within a depersonalised syntax of signs.

  • 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.
