Jenny Saville

Saville is grouped with the YBA's (young british artists) but doesn't totally fit because she works with traditional oil painting. However the content can be shocking in that she confronts the viewer with crazy flesh. Her monumental paintings get all the nitty gritty details and are overwhelming to take in. Kent and Vicki Logan shared one in their collection with the Denver public during the Radar show in 2006. Up close there the texture is hypnotic, and from a distance this work is truly a spectacle.
