Jenny Saville
A career-spanning survey of the British painter who has reinvented the nude with forceful brushstrokes and anatomical precisionThe internationally lauded British painter Jenny Saville transcends the boundaries of classical figuration and modern abstraction in her depictions of the human form. Indeed, Saville is deeply interested in the resilience and fragility of the human body, as well as its societal implications and taboos. Colossal naked bodies dominate her oeuvre, rendered with all the "imperfections" of flesh intact.
She expresses this perspective through an aggressive use of scale, brushy, wide strokes and Collecting material from pathology textbooks, plastic surgery manuals, chronicles of injuries and burns and similar publications, Saville often adds an observational perspective to her work by attending surgery demonstrations and visiting butcheries.
