Jenny Saville is part of the young artists scene in England, specifically in Oxford at the moment. She is another artist I've been looking at in Europe and her use of the body and contour lines is awesome. She's already well recognized by the European art world with exhibits in Rome and Berlin. Some of her work was even displayed in Nashville at the Frist Center for the Arts. She seemingly reduces the human form in a lot of her work by covering it in harsh strokes or various items. In her paintings, she sculpts the flesh of her subjects, easily seen in Suspension (2002-2003). Her actual sculptures possess a painterly quality, showing her skill in molding mediums. I really enjoy her innovative ideas of how to approach multimedia art and the vulnerability she brings to the entities of the world.
