About this work

This sculptural work depicts a stylized human figure captured mid-stride in a perpetual running motion. Rendered in anodised aluminium and mounted on a pristine Corian base, the piece exemplifies Opie's distinctive visual language of radical simplification. The figure is reduced to essential outlines and minimal facial features, creating an instantly recognizable silhouette that distills movement into its purest form. The reflective quality of the aluminium surface adds dimensionality while maintaining the artist's signature graphic clarity. Created in 2020, this work represents Opie's ongoing exploration of contemporary portraiture and human movement. His reductive aesthetic bridges fine art and popular visual culture, making his work highly accessible yet conceptually sophisticated. The Running People series has become iconic within Opie's oeuvre, appealing to collectors who appreciate his ability to transform everyday observations into timeless modern statements. The intimate scale and refined execution make this piece equally suited to residential and corporate settings. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
