Meaning & Analysis

The figures in Street 5 are drawn using simple, thick lines filled with blocks of flat colour. Opie uses yellow, white, black and red lines, with each figure being delineated in a different colour. The figures do not have faces and their heads are replaced by simple circles. Street 5 is one of six prints in Opie's Street collection. Each print in the collection depicts four anonymous figures walking across the composition. The prints can also be seen alongside three sculptures made by Opie in 2019 which were shown at his first solo gallery exhibition in New York City at the Lisson Gallery. The sculptures show similar anonymous figures captured in motion.

By taking everyday subjects such as people walking in a city and rendering them in a simple style, Opie demonstrates that ordinary and commonplace things and people are also worthy of being made into fine artworks.This approach to art resonates strongly with the Pop Art movement and the prints made by Andy Warhol.

  • 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.
