Jenny Saville

By LatAm ARTE

Jenny Saville was born in 1970 in England. She is known for her rich and naturalistic paintings of large human bodies. He attended the Glasgow School of the Arts in Scotland. Saville rose to world fame at a young age with an exhibition at the Satchi Gallery in London, as well as his involvement with a group of young British artists in the 1990s. Her style has been compared to that of Lucien Freud and Sir Peter Paul Rubens. She is known for reusing traditional oil paintings, captivating images of weighty and shortened female forms, and physical examinations of the body. Saville has exhibited her work in galleries around the world. In her paintings, Jenny Saville transcends the shape of the human body beyond the boundaries of classical and modern figurative abstraction. Layers of thick and heavy paint and oil sit on the surface of the canvas and evoke human viscera. Saville pushes colors onto his large canvases while creating living bodies that are failing and collapsing.
