Patrick Caulfield
British · b. 1936

Caulfield similarly employed bold black outlines and flat unmodulated color planes to depict everyday objects with a reductive, graphic sensibility that bridges Pop Art and minimalism. His treatment of mundane subjects through simplified visual language closely mirrors Opie's approach in this lenticular shirt motif.

Roy Lichtenstein
American · b. 1923

Lichtenstein shared Opie's use of strong black contour lines and flat color fields to elevate ordinary imagery into bold graphic statements rooted in Pop Art aesthetics. His interest in transforming familiar consumer objects into clean, iconic visual forms parallels the reductive clothing motif in this piece.

Mel Bochner
American · b. 1940

Bochner works at the intersection of language, perception, and flat graphic form, exploring how simplified visual elements create dynamic viewer experiences that shift with perspective and context. His engagement with color relationships and optical perception connects directly to the color changing and perceptual animation present in this lenticular work.
