About this work

This sculptural work presents a series of minimalist figurative forms arranged on pristine white Corian shelves. Four freestanding acrylic sculptures depict stylized human figures rendered in Opie's signature reductive vocabulary, where bodies are distilled to essential contours and flat planes of color. The transparent and opaque acrylic elements create an interplay between solid form and negative space, allowing light to activate the composition. The wall-mounted configuration gives the piece an architectural quality, transforming the gallery wall into a stage for these simplified human presences. Belgium 4 exemplifies Opie's continued exploration of contemporary portraiture and the human figure through industrial materials and digital aesthetics. The work bridges sculpture, relief, and installation, demonstrating the artist's versatility beyond his celebrated LED and digital works. Created in 2021, this piece reflects Opie's enduring influence on contemporary figurative art and his ability to distill human presence into universal, immediately recognizable forms that resonate across cultures.
