Meaning & Analysis

Walking In Melbourne 6 captures the essence of Opie’s artistic style which is characterised by his use of simple forms rendered using thick outlines. Another signature element of Opie’s visual language is his depiction of faceless figures. Opie often replaces people’s faces with circles which hover above their shoulders. Although the anonymous figures cannot be identified through their facial features, Opie distinguishes the people from one another through their clothing and accessories.

This print can be seen alongside nine other prints in Opie’s Walking In Melbourne collection. Opie has produced numerous prints of people walking through cities and other notable collections include Walking In The Rain and Walking In London. Opie’s focus on anonymous individuals reflects the artist’s interest in the ordinary and his desire to depict mundane reality in his artworks.

  • 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.
