Jenny Saville is a British born artist who's focus has mainly been on female bodies. She has been compared to Lucian Freud and in 1993 Saatchi purchased all of her work. She paints in a way that views the architecture of the body; her paintings become a sort of sculpture. Some feature target rings which help to give a feel of shape and form and mark making causes you to move around the painting and few all aspects of the skin. She paints how woman see themselves, and there is a sense of frankness and vulnerability in them which I love. I believe she was right when she said;"I want a painting realism. I try to consider the pace of a painting, of active and quiet areas."
