Jenny Saville

Jenny Saville is mainly known for her monumental oil paintings in which she does not depict idealised bodies, but her drawings are also captivated by the materiality of the human body. On her drawings, she says:

“Just because of the transparency of drawing, you’ve got the possibility of multiple bodies. It’s an attempt to make multiple realities exist together rather than one sealed image.” – Jenny Saville.
