Julian Opie — Rod Walking
Julian Opie

Rod Walking

Rod Walking depicts a simplified, graphic figure in mid-stride, rendered in Opie's signature reductive style that distills the human form into bold outlines and flat areas of color. The lenticular acrylic panel brings the image to life with an animated quality, creating the illusion of movement as the viewer shifts their perspective. This interplay between the static and the kinetic reflects Opie's ongoing exploration of how modern technologies and visual languages — from road signage to digital animation — shape our perception of the human body in motion.

Medium
Lenticular acrylic panel, comprised of a color inkjet print, back mounted and contained in a brushed aluminium frame specified by the artist.
