Additional Information
Opie was asked to participate in the Team GB collaborative project at a time when he was already planning a piece based on humans running (‘It’s surprising how often such happy coincidences occur’). He explained his creation process for the artwork as:
‘I filmed the Team GB sprinters from way off across the running track to minimise parallax and then set about capturing the movement by drawing them frame by frame. I use a language of lines that comes naturally to me but also borrows from ancient hieroglyphics and modern signage. A functional outlining similar to a shadow. The animation process gives me around thirty drawings of each runner in consecutive poses and creates a pallet of images to compose complex groups.
Watching races on TV reminded me of the groups of running athletes on Greek vases in the British Museum. I used the colours and lay out from these while imitating the engraving of ancient stone friezes with cut and layered card. It was such a pleasure to work with these amazing athletes.’
This poster showcasing Team GB women runners is one of two artworks that Opie made for the project. Nethaneel, Daniel, Kesi, Sam is based on the men’s GB Team, and is also available from Tate.
We’re pleased to offer this collection of posters celebrating Team GB created by Tate collection artists. Printed on 150gsm Coala Premium paper, the 80 x 60 cm poster provides a stunning, lasting memory of one of 2024’s major sporting events.
