Description
New works by the acclaimed painter
In her painterly and graphic oeuvre, the renowned British artist Jenny Saville explores the centuries-old tradition of representing the human body. Her figures occupy an ambiguous zone between idealization and deconstruction.
Drawing inspiration from the annals of art history—from Old Masters such as Leonardo and Raphael through to Egon Schiele, Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, and Lucian Freud—Saville's painterly practice is characterized by physicality, carnality, and the interplay between new and old media.
Whether she is depicting history, the bodies of others, or indeed her own, Jenny Saville's work explores what it means to be human.
