This lenticular sculpture captures Opie's signature minimalist aesthetic through animated walking figures, utilizing the optical properties of the lenticular medium to create the illusion of movement as viewers shift their perspective. The work exemplifies the artist's ongoing exploration of human locomotion and urban observation, translating his characteristic digital portraiture into a dynamic sculptural format.

Artists in conversation
Patrick Caulfield
British · b. 1936
Caulfield shared Opie's commitment to bold outlines, flat color fields, and a graphic minimalist reduction of everyday figures and urban scenes that bridges fine art and commercial aesthetics in a distinctly Pop Art register.
Allen Jones
British · b. 1937
Jones similarly transforms the human figure into sleek, stylized sculptural and graphic form with a Pop Art sensibility, emphasizing simplified silhouettes and a bold visual language that echoes Opie's animated walking figure aesthetic.
Keith Haring
American · b. 1958
Haring's iconic simplified human figures in continuous motion share Opie's preoccupation with urban locomotion and the reduction of the body to clean geometric outlines, creating an immediately recognizable graphic vocabulary rooted in street observation.
