Meaning & Analysis
Galloping Horse 2 is a digital image by artist Julian Opie. Released in 2013 in an edition size of 35, this piece takes the same subject and title as the artist's Galloping Horse sculpture from 2012. The horse in this print is shown mid-motion and has been set on a green background, providing a still from the black and white original sculpture.
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.’
