Meaning & Analysis

Opie takes inspiration from Utagawa Hiroshige for his Japanese Landscapes series and is indicative of the artist’s extensive knowledge of Japanese art. View Of Moon Over Manatsuru Peninsula goes against the European art historical landscape tradition that alludes to a sense of depth through the use of foreground objects. This print denies any foreground detail with the city landscape cutting the image in half horizontally, and the reflections of light in the water work to add an element of abstraction to the image.

Much of Opie’s work has been compared to the digitally rendered landscapes of video games in the way that they mimic a simultaneously familiar yet otherworldly sphere. Indeed, this print is uncanny in the sense of familiarity it strikes within the viewer, in part due to Opie’s depersonalised, slick style rendered through computer technology.

  • Julian Opie, born in 1958, dances through the contemporary art scene with a distinctive digital allure. A trailblazer of the 1980s New British Sculpture movement, Opie's work is a highly stylised blend of Pop Art and minimalism which navigates the intersection of technology and visual expression. From his early experiments with computer-generated art to his iconic portraits and animated installations, Opie's work exudes a captivating simplicity. His signature style, marked by bold lines and reduced forms, is internationally recognisable and has made him a key player in British contemporary art.
