Freestanding patinated black bronze figure on Crema Grey light stone base // Julian Opie's Melbourne Statuettes: Backpack (2018) is a freestanding sculpture crafted from patinated black bronze and mounted on a Crema Grey light stone base. Limited to an edition of 25 with 4 artist proofs, this piece showcases a minimalist female figure holding a smartphone, engrossed in its screen. The figure, depicted in Opie's characteristic outline style, wears a striped shirt and carries a backpack, suggesting a modern, everyday scene. The clean lines and simplified form emphasize the casual posture and typicality of urban life, capturing the essence of contemporary routines. The contrast between the dark bronze and the light stone base creates a visually compelling balance, maintaining the understated elegance characteristic of Opie's work.

What is Hard Edge Art?
Artwork by Ellsworth Kelly

What is Hard Edge Art?

Hard Edge art is a style of abstract painting that became popular in the 1960s. It features areas of color separated by crisp, sharp edges that are painted with geometric precision. The term hard-edge painting was coined by art critic Jules Langsner to describe this approach, which contrasts with the softer, more fluid forms of other abstract styles.
