Meaning & Analysis

Imagine You Are Walking is a screen print, released in 1998 in an edition of 40, by British artist Julian Opie. Opie’s deliberately bland imagery provides pared down visual symbols derived from everyday experiences.

This print depicts a succession of white walls, with entry points leading off in different directions, as well as a black floor and pale blue sky. The minimalist style and flat planes of colour, with an absence of any detail, is typical of Opie’s style, which takes inspiration from sources as diverse as Pop Art, Egyptian Hieroglyphics and Japanese Manga cartoons.

The dark grey road extends in perspectival gradation from the foreground to a vanishing point in the centre of the image. Deriving his imagery from immediate personal experience, Opie then depersonalises this, offering the viewer a commodity; that of being able to make their own personal imaginative journey. Emptied of human presence or details, his imagery is universal.

Julian Opie, born in 1958, dances through the contemporary art scene with a distinctive digital allure. A trailblazer of the 1980s New British Sculpture movement, Opie's work is a highly stylised blend of Pop Art and minimalism which navigates the intersection of technology and visual expression. From his early experiments with computer-generated art to his iconic portraits and animated installations, Opie's work exudes a captivating simplicity. His signature style, marked by bold lines and reduced forms, is internationally recognisable and has made him a key player in British contemporary art.

I reached out in order to get an appraisal for my Banksy print and within a day they provided me with an estimate that I can use to insure it. Special thanks to Celine and Leah.

When you have valuable artwork to sell, approaching the "art world" market as a novice can be quite intimidating. My Art Broker made the whole process easy and seamless. They are knowledgeable, transparent and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend them.
