Paint and vinyl on wood. Signed and titled to the underside ‘Julian Opie Christine Stay Ups Bra + Pants’. Work shows areas of chipping and paint loss, most notably to edges and lower corners. Discoloration to the upper right quadrant.

Julian Opie’s Christine Stay Ups Bra + Pants (2000) is a painted and vinyl relief on wood that exemplifies the artist’s distinctive reductive style. The elongated female figure is rendered in flat green lines and shapes, stripped of facial detail and individualized features, transforming the body into a universal, almost icon-like presence. Opie’s use of clean contours and simplified forms draws from digital aesthetics and signage, emphasizing clarity and immediacy. The frontal pose and minimal composition focus attention on posture and silhouette rather than identity, reflecting themes of representation and perception in contemporary visual culture. The work blurs the boundary between painting and object, combining graphic precision with sculptural presence.
