Meaning & Analysis
Galloping Horse 1 is a digital print by artist, Julian Opie, depicting a semi three-dimensional image of an outlined horse set against a plain green backdrop. This print was released in 2013 in a limited edition size of 35 and takes the same subject and title as Opie's Galloping Horse LED sculpture from 2012. This print replicates a still from the original sculpture, showing a horse mid-motion.
This series points to Opie’s interest in creating movement through a series of static images and places his works within the history of art. By using the subject of the horse specifically, Opie creates a set of images reminiscent of the 19th century motion photographer Eadweard Muybridge who created the first moving images by using a sequence of still photographs of a horse.
The sculptural iteration of the subject was installed in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in 2014 and Director of the Programme, Clare Lilley, said of the work: ‘Julian Opie is one of the most significant artists of his generation and Galloping Horse is a beautiful work that extends the material of contemporary sculpture, making full use of new technology.’
