Meaning & Analysis

Cityscape, executed by Julian Opie in 1991 and released in an edition of 40, depicts a street scene from a busy urban metropolis. Figures, executed in Opie’s iconic minimalist style, walk towards the viewer, as if crossing a busy road. The background, composed of numerous buildings, are similarly reductive in style, composed of simple geometric shapes.

Opie typically brings time honoured artistic movements into the 21st century, such as Japanese woodblock printing and Egyptian hieroglyphics, as he continues to push the boundaries of traditional ‘artistic’ practice. Through a refined, graphic style, Opie distils the visual information of everyday life and reality into a universal language of signs and symbols.

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.

When you have valuable artwork to sell, approaching the "art world" market as a novice can be quite intimidating. My Art Broker made the whole process easy and seamless. They are knowledgeable, transparent and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend them.
