Meaning & Analysis

The large expanse of tarmac on the right side of the print takes up about two thirds of the print, showing white lines and track markings that follow the rules of perspective to the slightly off-centre vanishing point. By pairing the portrait of Villeneuve with the racetrack landscape, the viewer is immediately made aware of who’s viewpoint we are seeing in the landscape.

Although the human presence is made clear in this print, Opie’s highly abstract and depersonalised style works to create the effect of a contemporary videogame, inviting the viewer to imagine their own virtual journey on this racetrack. Throughout the Imagine You Are Driving (Fast) series Opie works to create a slick, computer-generated image surface, Opie allows for a level of disengagement with the scenes. This level of depersonalisation subsequently invites the viewer to project their own personal emotions, memories and ideas onto the scene, thus filling in the blanks of the narratives that are to be read in Opie’s works.
