Opie

Opie is a street artist who uses stencils and spray paint to create thoughtful, politically charged, and sometimes just plain fun works of art. With the stealth of a “bargain basement Batman,” he paints the streets under cover of night, transforming urban spaces into canvases for his bold, often imperfect visions. His work oscillates between sharp social commentary and whimsical characters, depending on the mood (or how much paint is left in the can).

Though he jokes about one day learning to “colour inside the lines,” Opie embraces the spontaneity and rough edges of street art. His creations, whether tackling activism or just adding a bit of humor to the everyday, aim to stop people in their tracks—whether to think, laugh, or maybe wonder what he was even going for. In a world that’s often too polished, Opie’s pieces remind us that a little messiness can be part of the message.
