There is a feeling of hunger Jenny SavilleWorks – Almost curious about the beauty of the body and its strange, fleshy texture. Her portrait dreams and our own reality are filled with bruised tones and vibrant accents that make the surface of the skin peel off who, or what is underneath it.
On stage National Portrait Gallery In London Jenny Saville: Anatomy of Painting Marking the most extensive British museum solo, specifically targeting the artist, showing her decades-long investigation of human form in 45 works.
As its title suggests, the exhibition reveals her lasting fascination with meat and medical gaze. At the heart of her practice is the moment of careful observation – classical sculpture of canons and corpses on the operating table – exploring countless ways in which bodies can be reconstructed, transformed and endlessly reconceived.
“Watching a surgeon will give you a look at layered meat,” she notes. “I started thinking not only about the anatomy of the body, but also about the anatomy of the painting: the layering of the painted surface, the speed and rhythm, the viscosity of the paint.”
She stood out at the Glasgow Art School of Art of Art of Art of Art of Art of Art School and at the young British artist III at the Saatchi Gallery, Saville helped revitalize the new era of figurative painting and stay true to its historical traditions while bringing a new sense of touch, skin and effects.
In addition to the paintings seen, the exhibition also demonstrates Saville’s gentler exploration of pregnancy and maternity through works on paper (charcoal, pastels and pencils), which can appreciate her artistic talent in all registries. As curator Sarah Howgate puts it, “Walking a rope between image and abstraction, the exhibition celebrates and enjoys the nature of the paint itself.”
The exhibition is now held in London until September 7. To book tickets, head to the National Portrait Gallery website.
