Many of my past reflective journal entries were inspired by art work of Jenny Saville. She is an amazing, contemporary British painter that shows naked, curvy women in questionable, even erotic poses. She explores the life behind paint. Often, her portraits and paintings are up front, flesh-like representations of the manipulative quality that the human anatomy possesses. I personally admire her bluntness and crudeness to evolve certain human body parts into masses of meat. There is a certain seductive quality to the enormity of her bodies. In all, her exploration of the body displayed them not only as this anatomical beings but solid masses that had a physical depth and a psychological depth, especially with the poses and facial expressions of her models.
Ms. Jenny Saville is from Cambridge, England and is currently living and working in Oxford, England. She attended Glasglow School of Art, University of Cincinnati on a 6-month scholarship, and Slade School of Fine Art. During her stay in Ohio, Saville discovered "Lots of big women." The women were "big white flesh in shorts and T-shirts. It was good to see because they had the physicality that I was interested in" This interest was really explored more through her notable works of female bodies as masses of flesh.
This is the Queen Bee herself, Miss Jenny Saville.
