Street 1

Street 1 is a signed relief print made by the critically acclaimed British artist Julian Opie in 2020. Coming in an edition size of 55 the print shows four figures captured in motion, walking across the composition. The figures do not know one another, evident from the way they are all walking in different directions. A tall male figure is rendered in yellow who can be seen taking long strides with his hands in his pockets, implying he is in a rush and does not want to be approached. Behind him is a woman with long hair in a ponytail. Opie depicts the woman wearing a dress and carrying a large handbag. The third figure, walking in the opposite direction to the right of the composition, is rendered using thick white lines, and the man in front of her is rendered in dark green. The final male figure seems older than the others from his gait and hunched back. The figures are set against a bright orange backdrop and are all drawn using thick lines.
