Julian Opie — Bibi Running
Julian Opie

Bibi Running

Using his signature minimalist visual language, Julian Opie reduces the human form to its most essential elements, depicting the fluid motion of a running figure through bold outlines and flat, simplified colour. The lenticular format brings Bibi to life, creating the illusion of animated movement as the viewer shifts perspective, the figure appearing to stride dynamically across the panel. This work exemplifies Opie's ongoing exploration of contemporary portraiture and the representation of the human body in motion, bridging the aesthetics of digital animation, signage, and fine art.

Medium
Lenticular acrylic panel comprised of four colour inkjets printed directly onto 20 lpi lenticular animating lenses, back mounted with 3mm Dibond (as issued),
