Meaning & Analysis

Yellow Green White Black is representative of Opie’s fascination with the human body and the genre of portraiture. The series as a whole explores various colour combinations and shows different figures in each print, repeating the same composition multiple times. In this work, Opie shows the figures standing casually, holding their bags and jackets, each shown in full-length and facing outwards.

Typical of many of Opie’s works, Yellow Green White Black is rendered with the absolute minimum by which a person can be represented. Reduced to simplified shapes and bold lines, the images show the figures with blank circles for heads and without feet. Opie is interesting in depicting people as a means to represent the mundanities of modern life and explore what it is to be human.

  • 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.
