The moving image “Verity walking in dress” is an innovative creation by London artist Julian Opie, who was born in 1958. Verity is an English girl’s name and means ‘truth’ and ‘authenticity’.

Opie combines the minimalism of pop art with contemporary digital techniques in his work. This combination of different art forms makes his work an invitation to contemplation and self-reflection. His style is characterised by simplicity and depth, and he has a great fascination for the human body.

In “Verity walking in dress,” art, movement, and story blend together seamlessly. Opie explores the complexity of identity and movement. By simplifying Verity with digital pixels into basic shapes, he creates a timeless and accessible work.

“Verity walking in dress” is not just a work of art. It is also a reflection on the various forms of human expression, especially in fashion. Through Verity’s elegant stride and flowing dress, Opie challenges you to think about the way you present yourself and the role that clothing plays in shaping your identity.
