Jenny Saville

Jenny Saville is a British painter known for large-scale figurative works centered on the human body. Her paintings and drawings use layered marks, close cropping and shifting viewpoints to resist idealized or stable representations of flesh. The practice draws on observation, art history and photographic sources while maintaining the physical force of paint. The official portfolio provides a focused route through works and exhibitions, useful for comparing changes in scale, composition and treatment of the figure.
