Small Birds Black Headed Gull, 2020
Wall mounted acrylic relief
12 1/8 x 16 x 1 5/8 in 30.7 x 40.6 x 4 cm
Edition
Edition of 20
This wall-mounted acrylic relief captures a black-headed gull in flight through Opie's signature reductive style. The bird is rendered in bold black silhouette against a pristine white background, distilled to its most essential forms. Minimal lines define the wings, body, and distinctive head marking with remarkable clarity. The shallow relief construction adds subtle dimensionality, allowing the piece to hover just off the wall and cast delicate shadows that shift with changing light throughout the day. Created in 2020, this work exemplifies Opie's ongoing exploration of movement and nature through digital simplification. His ability to convey complex motion and character with such economy of form has established him as one of Britain's most recognizable contemporary artists. The compact scale makes this an ideal entry point for collectors new to Opie's work, while seasoned collectors will appreciate how it complements his larger installations and portrait series. The piece offers versatile display options for both residential and corporate settings. Available for purchase — enquire for price and availability.
