Jenny Saville at Gagosian

Just about to close at the end of this week is the beautiful life drawings from Jenny Saville at the Davis Street location of Gaggosian Gallery in New York. “Bodies fascinate me. I find having the framework of a body essential. Having flesh as a central subject, I can channel a lot of ideas.” –Jenny Saville

Known for her outsized oil paintings of traumatic female bodies, this is Saville’s first exhibition devoted exclusively to drawing. In these large and detailed studies, she articulates specific aspects of her subject, giving powerful graphic life to the anatomical details and expressive movements that animate and underpin her visceral paintings.

Saville has chosen subjects, including herself, whose bodies she believes to represent the contemporary era.
