Rod Walking, 2010
Lenticular acrylic panel in the artist's brushed aluminum frame
32 5/8 x 19 1/4 in 82.9 x 48.9 cm
Edition
Edition of 35
This lenticular acrylic panel captures a figure in motion, reduced to Opie's signature visual language of bold outlines and flat color fields. The walking man appears to animate as the viewer moves, creating an illusion of sequential movement through the sophisticated lenticular printing technique. Set within the artist's characteristic brushed aluminum frame, the work exemplifies Opie's decades-long exploration of simplifying human form into essential graphic elements. The clean lines and minimal palette echo both contemporary digital aesthetics and traditional portraiture conventions. Opie's distinctive approach bridges fine art and popular visual culture, making his work highly collectible and instantly recognizable. His portraits and walking figures have become iconic in contemporary art, featured in major museum collections worldwide. The lenticular medium adds a kinetic dimension that rewards sustained viewing, distinguishing this piece from static prints. This work represents an important period in Opie's practice when he expanded his technical vocabulary to incorporate movement and optical effects.
