Meaning & Analysis

The person’s face in Paper Head 8 is reduced to a simplified form, void of any distinguishable characteristics. The person is not given any facial features from which the viewer could identify their age or gender. This print is exemplary of Opie’s distinct visual language which is characterised by his use of simplified forms rendered using thick black lines filled with bold blocks of colour.

Each print in the Paper Heads collection depicts a person, always from shoulders up, looking side-on. The collection differs from Opie’s other artworks depicting anonymous figures, such as Standing People and Tourists, which show more of the people’s bodies, enabling the viewer to piece together more information regarding their identities.
