Archival Museum Board relief collage, presented in sprayed white frames selected by the artist - Signed and numbered to label on verso - Series: Standing Couples

Jade and Julia by Julian Opie, created in 2024, is part of the Standing Couples series and features Opie’s characteristic minimalist, graphic style. The artwork depicts two stylized female figures standing side by side, outlined in bold black lines. Jade is shown on the left, dressed in a black dress and gray jacket, while Julia stands on the right, wearing a long dark coat, white shirt, and blue cap. Both figures are portrayed with simplified shapes and flat areas of color, set against a soft pastel background. Their poses, with hands in pockets and crossed arms, suggest a relaxed and casual demeanor. This piece, presented as an archival relief collage on museum board, emphasizes the geometric and abstract nature of human interaction, characteristic of Opie's exploration of modern portraiture in a digital age.
