"This series uses elements that define the space they are in. In themselves they are not particularly interesting, at least not in the way that I have drawn them. The interest comes from the space they define and the movement they suggest, the way they bend and animate the white of the wall. I have also made films of some of these subjects allowing the fish or boats or sheep to create an endlessly changing composition that essentially remains the same, a narrative without beginning or end." (Julian Opie: Alan Cristea Gallery, artist website: http://www.julianopie.com/#/text/catalogue/3823).
