Meaning & Analysis

Opie has a strong interest in depicting images of people in the rain stating that, “I realised rain created a whole new world, umbrellas went up, people’s postures and the whole mood changed. I have always liked the rain, the sense of isolation it creates as the world shrinks and everything gets dark and glossy.”

Captured in the artist’s structured, graphic language, Walking In The Rain, Seoul encapsulates contemporary life in Seoul in a way that makes the viewer think about their own body in relation to the compelling image. Opie rationalises the human form in a decidedly stylised manner, striking a balance between the soft and human, and the hard and artificial, producing an uncanny effect. Undertaking a task that has preoccupied artists for generations, Opie captures modern life in an entirely unique way

  • 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.
