Busan 1
2024
A quintessential Julian Opie work depicting five faceless figures walking in procession, each absorbed in their smartphones against a warm ochre background. Rendered in Opie's signature flat, graphic style with bold black outlines and simplified colour fields, the work captures the universal phenomenon of urban digital distraction. 'Busan 1' is a unique work from 2024, referencing the South Korean city and continuing Opie's long-running exploration of anonymous modern pedestrians. The large-scale format and vinyl-on-aluminium construction give the work a crisp, contemporary presence suited to institutional or significant private collections.
